To prepare, typically you will combine the dry stuffing mix with melted butter and a liquid, such as chicken broth or water, in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove it from the heat, cover, and let it stand for a few minutes to allow the bread cubes to absorb the liquid and soften. Fluff with a fork before serving. For a richer flavor, you can sauté onions and celery before adding them to the mix.
