Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 12 cups bread (about 3 pounds - sliced thin)
  • 6 slices bacon (cooked)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 stalks celery (diced)
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 3 carrots (diced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup broth (chicken or veggie)

Instructions
 

  • Slice bread into strips that are ¼ wide and about 2 inches long. Spread the bread in one even layer on two sheet trays.
  • Bake at 375ºF for about 10 minutes to dry out the bread.
  • In a large saucepan, cook the bacon until it's just crisp. Remove it from the pan and chop.
  • Add the butter to the bacon fat in the pan.
  • Add the veggies, salt, and pepper. Cook until soft, about 5-8 minutes.
  • Toss the dried bread, chopped bacon, and sauteed veggies together.
  • Whisk together the broth and the eggs. Pour the mixture over the bread crumb mixture and toss to combine.
  • Pour into a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
