Kraft Stuffing Mix
What it is
This is a dried bread cube mix designed to be rehydrated and seasoned for a classic side dish. It is a convenient way to prepare stuffing without starting from scratch with stale bread. The mix typically includes seasoned bread cubes and a seasoning packet to provide a savory flavor profile.
How people cook with it
Stuffing mix is primarily used as a side dish for holiday meals and special occasions. It can also be incorporated into other savory dishes.
- Holiday dinner side
- Savory casserole topping
- Stuffed mushroom filling
- Meatloaf binder
To prepare, you typically combine the dried bread cubes with a liquid like broth or water and melted butter. The seasoning packet is then added to impart flavor. The mixture is usually baked in a dish until heated through and slightly crispy on top. Some people prefer to stuff it inside poultry before baking, while others bake it separately.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to homemade stuffing, this mix offers significant time savings. It provides a consistent flavor and texture that is familiar to many consumers. The pre-seasoned cubes eliminate the need to season bread from scratch.

How to keep the rest
After preparing, store any leftover stuffing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within a few days. Unused dry mix should be kept in a cool, dry place, sealed tightly to maintain freshness.
