This is so similar to my go-to stuffing. Bread, onions, celery, and herb like sage and rosemary. Classic and simple.

This is my all-time favorite combination for stuffing that I grew up on. I've made many other kinds of stuffing, but return to this one over and again. The combination of sage, celery, onion and butter can't be beat.
