There are no set amounts for this, but we always had it and I love it.





Put some raisins (maybe a cup) in a pan with about 2 inches of water over the tops of them. Bring the water to boil, shut it off and cover. You do this to plump the raisin back up. The longer you let them sit the plumper they will become. I don't know why they just never used grapes, but there ya go...





Brown hamburger with onions, green peppers, and celery diced into it then drain off the excess fat.





In a big kettle make some rice according to directions. Add a can of diced carrots, a can of diced tomatoes, the hamburger and the raisins when they are plumped up. Mix. Salt and pepper to taste.





You can stuff the bird with it or use it as a side dish.





You can add pieces of turkey to it the next day so it's a casserole.





You can adjust the ingredients up or down depending on what you prefer. I use a lot of raisins because they're sweet and I like them.
Take a 1 pound loaf of French bread and cube it up. Let dry overnight on a sheet pan (or you can dry them out a little in a slow oven). Saute 1 chopped red onion, 1/3 of a bunch of celery chopped, 1 8 oz. pkg sliced mushrooms (I like baby bellas), and a heaping Tbsp or two of minced garlic, all in a stick of butter.


Add some dried sage and rosemary, saute until soft. Near the end, add fresh chopped sage.





Toss all that with the bread cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle in 1-3 cups of chicken stock depending on the consistency you want. Put it all in a buttered or sprayed casserole dish and bake at 350 for about 30-45 minutes. Check on it every 15 minutes to see if it needs more stock.





It's simple, but I don't like fancy stuff in my stuffing. This is like my grandma used to make. Enjoy!
