This Easy Stuffing recipe is made from scratch with simple ingredients: bread cubes, onions, carrots, butter, and fresh herbs. The vegetables are sautéed and then tossed with bread and spices. After adding broth, the stuffing is baked until golden and crisp on top. It is perfect for a flavorful side dish at any cozy dinner.
