Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using day-old bread as it absorbs the liquid better. You can substitute the chicken bouillon cube with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version. If you're short on time, pre-chopped onion and celery can save preparation time. Adjust the seasoning with herbs like thyme or sage for an aromatic twist.
Serving Suggestions
Mil'S Dressing is a versatile side dish that pairs beautifully with roasted chicken or turkey. For a complete meal, serve it alongside a fresh salad or some steamed vegetables. Consider complementing it with Bea'S Hot Olive Cheese Puffs for a delicious appetizer before the main course.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the dressing in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until heated through. This will help maintain moisture.
