Tonight we had some lamb chops done up on the grill. Publix really had a great sale that time, I love having lamb to just pull out of the freezer. I made some stuffing to go with it Stovetop style and broccoli with a bit of cheese sauce. I meant to get a picture but somehow I totally forgot.
For the stuffing cut up some stale bread (hot dog buns, hamburger buns, bagels whatever) into small pieces just like for the croutons, but I tend to cut the stuffing a bit smaller. Spread out on a cookie sheet, and season with spices of your choice, I just used garlic, salt and pepper, onion powder, and some season salt. (Some chicken bouillon is great here) Pop it into the oven set to 200 until it is dried out fully.
Finely dice half an onion and some celery about a 1/4 cup (I only buy celery occasionally so I dice and portion it then put in the freezer to pull out). Add onion and celery along with 1-2 cloves minced garlic and a bit of salt to a frying pan and sweat over low heat. Add some (2-3 tablespoons) white wine part way through if you like. Once translucent stir in bread mix. You want to have about 6-8 oz by weight of dried bread. I keep some stuffing mix in a tupperware in the cabinet to assist if needed. Stir bread and veg until well combined leave heat on until well mixed. Let sit until about 5-7 minutes before you are ready to eat.
Heat up 2 cups of chicken broth and 2-3 tablespoons of butter in a sauce pan, when it boils add bread mixture stir well remove from heat let sit about 5-7 minutes, fluff with fork before serving.
For the cheese sauce make about one cup of white sauce, (1 tbsp butter melted add 1 tbsp flour on low heat to make a rou when combined add 1 cup milk stir like crazy to combine stir constantly over low heat until thickened) Add a dash each of salt, pepper, ground mustard, onion powder, garlic and cayenne pepper. Stir in about a 1/2 cup grated cheese. I used colby jack.
Pour cheese sauce over steamed broccoli if desired.
