Stuffing

2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
2 ribs of celery, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped (optional)
Italian spices to taste (optional)
1 loaf of day old Pamela's Bread, cubed (see recipes below)
chicken stock, approximately 1/2 to 1 cup
salt and pepper to taste

Sauté the vegetables (and Italian spices) in the butter until just soft, be careful not to over cook. Put the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl and pour in vegetable mixture. Stir to incorporate. Add chicken stock slowly, just enough to wet the bread, be careful, too much will make it mushy. Salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a casserole dish, cover, heat for 20 minutes at 325°. Serve warm.

Note: if you don't have day old bread, you can cube it, lay out on a cookie sheet and bake at 200° for 5 or 10 minutes to dry out. Should feel like croutons.
