This recipe is for bachelors who either haven't gotten any Holiday dinner invitations, or simply need a dressing fix between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Ingredients:
1 box, Kraft™ Stove Top Stuffing Mix for Turkey
1½ cups low sodium chicken broth
4 tablespoons salted butter (BUTTER, not spread or margarine)
½ teaspoon onion salt
ground black pepper
½ cup chopped pecans
½ cup chopped dates
1 jigger Jim Beam bourbon (white label, save the black label for sipping)
vegetable oil
Follow package directions for microwave preparation EXCEPT use broth instead of water, and butter instead of spread or maragine. Add onion salt and liberal dose of black pepper. While stuffing heats up in microwave, lightly toast chopped pecans in dry iron skillet over medium heat. Remove stuffing from microwave, fluff with fork, stir in pecans, dates and bourbon. Increase heat under iron skillet to medium high, add some vegetable oil, swirling pan to distrubute. Add stuffing to skillet, and let it brown. Flip and brown other side.
Gravy optional, but oh so good. (One can turkey gravy, butter, black pepper. Empty gravy into a pot over medium heat, wisk in some butter, add black pepper to taste.)
