A New Twist on a Holiday Classic
Stuffing might be the most loved side dish on the Thanksgiving table, and this French onion stuffing gives it a little something extra. It has everything you love about the classic: toasted sourdough, tender onion and celery, and plenty of fresh herbs. We also add a secret ingredient that makes every bite rich with savory onion flavor. It’s familiar enough to please the traditionalists at your table and new enough to get everyone asking for the recipe.
The Secret Ingredient: Organic French Onion Dip
What makes this French onion dip stuffing special is our Organic French Onion Dip. Whisked with eggs and broth, it coats every cube of bread with creamy, oniony goodness, giving you deep flavor without hours of caramelizing onions. Our dip is made with simple ingredients and organic milk from grass-fed cows on small family farms. That means a holiday shortcut you can feel good about serving.
Herbs, Crunch, and a Golden Top
Fresh sage, thyme, and parsley bring the classic holiday aroma you want filling your kitchen. Baking the stuffing covered keeps the inside soft and moist, and uncovering it at the end gives you that golden, slightly crispy top everyone fights over. Want to make it your own? Fold in dried cranberries for a pop of sweet-tart flavor, or toasted pecans for extra crunch. Both are delicious, and they make this French onion dip stuffing feel even more festive.

French Onion Dip Stuffing
Description
This French onion dip stuffing gets its creamy, savory flavor from Kalona SuperNatural Organic French Onion Dip. It’s an easy, cozy side dish for your holiday table.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf sourdough bread, cut into ¾-inch cubes
- 1 container Kalona SuperNatural Organic French Onion Dip
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 celery stalks, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1½–2 cups chicken broth
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Salt, to taste
- Optional: ½ cup dried cranberries and ½ cup toasted pecans
Instructions
- Toast the bread. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 10–15 minutes, until dry and lightly toasted.
- Sauté the vegetables. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery and cook for 7–9 minutes, until softened. Stir in garlic, sage, and thyme and cook for another minute.
- Mix the stuffing. Add the vegetables and parsley to the bread cubes. In a separate bowl, whisk together Kalona SuperNatural Organic French Onion Dip, eggs, pepper, and 1½ cups broth. Pour over the bread mixture and toss gently. Add additional broth as needed to moisten without making the bread soggy. Fold in optional cranberries or pecans.
- Bake. Transfer to a greased 9 × 13-inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake another 15–20 minutes, until golden and the center reaches 165°F.
- Serve. Rest for 5–10 minutes, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
