Yankee Stuffing

I was born up north but have resided in the deep south for most of my life so we lovingly call this Yankee or bread stuffing.  I don't do a lot of measurements but I'll tell you what goes in and then you season it to your liking.  This will make about a 9x13 pan or you can stuff it inside the bird. (Only stuff right before you're about to bake it)

6 cups of bread, toasted & cubed (or a little stale)
1/2 stick butter
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup mushrooms, chopped
3 cups chicken broth
1 egg
poultry seasoning
sage
salt & pepper

In a skillet sauté the celery, mushrooms, & onion in the butter.

When just begins to soften turn it off.

Mix this along with the seasonings & toss into the bread cubes.

Whisk egg into the chicken broth.

Now add some chicken broth to just moisten everything.---NOT soupy.

Place in the bird and/or dish.  Cover dish with foil and bake at 350 for about 40 minutes.

If you want the top a little crunch remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of cooking time.
