Ingredients

  1. 1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
  2. 6 slices bacon, chopped
  3. 5 stalks celery, chopped
  4. 2 onions, chopped
  5. 2 cups pitted prunes, halved
  6. 1 cup cooked peeled chestnuts, chopped
  7. 3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
  8. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  9. 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  10. 16 cups 1-inch cubes stale sourdough bread (about 2 pounds)
  11. 3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the celery, onions, prunes, chestnuts, rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture softens and starts browning, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  2. Combine the bread and broth mixture in a large bowl and gently mix until all the bread is moistened. Stir in the beaten eggs.
  3. Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Add the stuffing and dot with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until golden brown, about 20 more minutes.
