This Portobello Stuffing recipe is a great holiday side dish recipe for mushroom lovers!

Stuffing has always been a favorite dish to look forward to at holiday meals. My Mom used to make her Classic Stuffing recipe, which my family loved. But I do like to change things up a bit and make different kinds of stuffing recipes now and then. Portobello stuffing is a big time favorite among the mushroom-loving people in my house. It’s likely to be a new favorite for you too!

Ingredients needed:

• bacon
• sweet onion
• celery
• portobello mushrooms
• dried sage, salt and pepper
• cornbread stuffing mix
• fresh parsley
• celery leaves
• eggs
• white wine
• chicken broth
• butter

How to make Portobello Stuffing:

The complete, printable recipe is shared at the end of this post. The first step is frying the bacon. Then the onion, mushrooms, celery, sage, salt and pepper are sautéed in the bacon grease until everything is softened up. Then you’ll add stuffing mix, parsley and celery leaves to the pan. Stir it all up, and then transfer the mixture to a bowl. Eggs, wine and chicken broth are tossed into the stuffing until it is nice and moist (but not soggy!) Then the stuffing mix is transferred to a baking dish. Butter is dotted on top.

The stuffing is baked (covered) for 45 minutes. That’s it! It’s a pretty simple stuffing recipe to make. And the result is that it’s so delicious!

What’s the difference between stuffing and dressing?

It’s pretty simple, really.  The difference is how they’re prepared. Stuffing is defined as a mixture to stuff another food- usually some kind of poultry.  But stuffing can also be cooked in a casserole dish, and people still tend to call it stuffing!  Dressing is generally defined as stuffing that is cooked in a pan outside of the main dish.

Ingredient notes:

Although the recipe is for portobello stuffing, it’s really okay to use whatever mushrooms you’d like for this recipe. The recipe also calls for using a cornbread stuffing mix. You can use that, but you can also use any kind of stuffing mix. Or you can chop your own bread and toast it to make homemade stuffing bread cubes. If you don’t like to cook with alcohol, you can leave out the wine and use all chicken broth.

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon, chopped
• 3 cups chopped sweet onion
• 2 cups chopped celery
• 1 pound portobello mushrooms, diced
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• One 16-ounce package unseasoned cornbread stuffing mix
• ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
• ½ cup chopped celery leaves
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• ½ cup dry white wine
• 1 to 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 13x9-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
• Fry the bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Save 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings and discard the rest. Add onion and celery; sauté until soft and lightly browned (about 5 min.). Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes. Add the sage, salt, and pepper; stir 1 minute.
• Add the stuffing mix, parsley and celery leaves. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and wine; add it to the stuffing. Incorporate 1 cup of the broth into the stuffing and toss. Add more broth, as needed, until the stuffing comes together but isn't soggy. Scoop the stuffing into the prepared pan (or stuff the turkey) and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Let stand, uncovered, for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

• * If you are not able to find cornbread stuffing that is unseasoned, use a loaf and a half of French bread- chop it up and toast it in the oven. It will work just fine.
