Ingredients

3 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

In a medium-sized sauce pan, melt the butter and sauté the onions and celery until soft, about 6 minutes. Add the diced bell pepper and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and then add the dried seasonings. Add 4 cups of the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from the heat and add the dried bread cubes. Give it a good stir so that the chicken broth is evenly combined. If the stuffing is too dry, add the rest of the stock in ½-cup increments until wet. Place the wet stuffing into a 9-by-13-inch greased baking pan and bake for 30 minutes, covered. Remove the cover and bake for 5 minutes more until golden brown.
