Bundt Pan Stuffing

What is a bundt cake? Well in this case it isn’t a cake at all but you’ll use the same fluted pan to cook it in. Why do I cook monkey bread, cakes, and stuffing in a bundt pan…well it looks pretty and creates more of that lovely crunch on the outside that you don’t get in a casserole dish.

When you serve it bundt pan stuffing looks a lot prettier than a lump in a bowl though if you ask me. If you don’t have one I will share my favorite bundt pan like below I like to use. They aren’t expensive and a great way to jazz up any recipe.

How Long to Bake Stuffing in a Bundt Pan

It is going to take 25-30 minutes once it has been prepared to bake in the oven to a golden brown with a bit of brown on the top. You do want to keep it moist but just a bit of crisp on the outer edges will allow it to stay together so you can flip it over on to a platter before serving.

There are many stuffing recipes and of course you can use your own and just follow the guidelines below to cook it in a fluted pan instead of a traditional one. If you have two you can make our bundt pan meatloaf with it too using the same pan, or serve with leftover ham and it’s a great meal! Everything is more fun when it’s in a fun shape like this.

You can really adjust this recipe to your liking and add or omit whatever items you’d like. If you prefer one without celery that is okay, just skip that step, want more onion, adjust to a bigger amt.

This is the best way of How to Bake Stuffing Outside the Turkey really. I prefer it that way because of the overall texture. Instead of a mushy mess you will get both tender with a touch of crispy. Win win and you can make different versions if you have a few pans available to use.

Ingredients

1. French bread – day old is best if possible
2. Melted butter – or butter alternative if making this stuffing vegetarian
3. Onions diced are a nice touch
4. Celery is kinda’ something we always use but optional
5. Eggs are in this one to make it stick together and look super pretty when done
6. Chicken broth – use vegetable broth if making a vegetarian stuffing
7. Spices and seasonings of your choice

What can you use other than bread to make homemade stuffing?

Of course there are bags of already dried and diced pieces, Pepperidge Farm has a great herb version. If you want to start from scratch you can make or buy Sourdough Croutons which are already firm and provide a great base to absorb the broth, seasonings, celery and onions too.

If you’ve never tried baking this traditional dish before it might be your new thing during the holidays. Flipping over when it’s nice and golden brown on to a really nice Thanksgiving platter.

It is a great decoration really and a great way to present your side dish on the big day. Perfect for Christmas too (or any time of the year). What a difference a pretty pan makes right? You’ll want a large mixing bowl to combine all the ingredients together. Use your own favorite stuffing mix recipe if you like.

How do you prepare a bundt pan for baking?

You definitely want to lightly coat the inside of bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray. Make sure all nooks and crannies are coated. If you don’t have a spray you can use a paper towel with softened butter on it to wipe the inside well.

How to Bake Stuffing in a Bundt Pan

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake bread cubes in oven for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. (skip if using stuffing mix)
• Reduce oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large pan over medium heat, melt butter..
• In a skillet heat onions and celery, cooking until tender for about 5 minutes. 
• Remove from heat and dump into a large bowl. 
• Stir in seasonings
• Add the stuffing mix, bread or seasoned air fryer croutons, eggs and stock folding together well. Pack the stuffing mixture into the pan evenly all around.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly browned as seen.
• Then allow to sit in the pan for a good 5 minutes before setting a large plate on top of the pan and flipping it over.
• You can garnish with fresh herbs on top to make it look like a wreath if it is Christmas time.

How do you store and reheat leftover stuffing?

It saves quite well if stored properly in the fridge for up to 3 days. Ideally it is best within 24 hours as it will dry out a bit as it sits. The best way to store is in a freezer bag, zipped closed with all the air sucked out. You should reheat in microwave with 1-2 tbsp broth poured on top for about 1 minute for best results.

Next day I will eat with some turkey or will use it to make our favorite Stove Top stuffing meatloaf (but with this homemade version so it is even better!).
