Share on TwitterI apologize that this recipe isn't going to be very precise. This truly was just kind of a toss it together recipe. I'll 'measure' off what I can.
1/2 pound of bacon, cooked, drained (save the bacon fat)
2 Golden Delicious apples, medium dice
1/2 an white onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks of celery, diced
1 cup of white mushrooms, diced
1 tablespoon dried sage
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1/2 cup of fresh parsley
1 can of chicken broth
1 bag of seasoned bread cubes/croutons
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Cook off the bacon. Drain off some of the bacon grease. Add your diced carrots, celery, and onion. Add a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Once the veggies soften add the mushrooms and apples. Just let the apples take on a little color and the mushrooms cook down.
In a large mixing bowl add the chicken broth. Now here is the problem... I don't know how much of the bread cubes I added. I'd guesstimate it was about 4 cups of bread cubes, but I honestly am not sure... SO, my suggestion would be to add 3 cups and stir them into the chicken broth to let it absorb in. If it is still liquidy, add some more bread cubes. Don't worry if it looks dry, add a little water or more chicken broth if you have more available. SORRY! I know that is vague.
One the veggie mix is ready, add it to the soaked bread cubes, and toss in the bacon. Toss to combine thoroughly.
Bake it in a well buttered/cooking sprayed casserole dish, 45 minutes covered 15 minutes uncovered. The top should be browned.
This makes about 6 to 8 servings.
