sourdough mushroom dressing


I have to admit, one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving dinner is the dressing or stuffing.  I don't really care which you give me...I'd be satisfied if that's all there were on my plate.

This recipe is inspired by Chef Bobby Flay's own recipe for dressing.  I didn't get to see his show down with Pioneer Woman, but I did go online and look through all of their recipes.  His sourdough dressing caught my eye.  Mine isn't exactly like his (I made it a little easier), but my goodness it was delicious!


Sourdough Mushroom Dressing
  • 1 lb. sourdough bread, cut into cubes
  • 1 1/2 pounds of mushrooms (pick your favorite or use a variety)
  • 2 T. canola oil
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 to 3/4 pound bacon, cut into small pieces
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • herbs to taste (i.e. thyme, rosemary, sage, parsley) - use liberally

Spread bread cubes onto a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove and place in a large bowl.

Combine mushrooms, oil, salt and pepper; spread onto a cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes or until tender and browned.

In a large skillet, cook and stir bacon pieces.  When bacon begins to brown, add onion and garlic.  Continue cooking until bacon is crispy and onion is tender.  Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with a paper towel.

Pour chicken broth into hot skillet and bring to a simmer.  Liberally add herbs (either fresh or dried).

Combine bread, mushrooms, bacon, onions, broth mixture, and eggs in a large bowl; mix well.  Spread into a greased casserole dish and cover with foil.  Bake at 350 for 20 minutes; remove foil and continue baking until golden brown (another 30-40 minutes).
