Mom’s 7-Minute Stuffing Bake: Turbo-Thanksgiving Magic

KEY POINTS

•Every year after Thanksgiving, Alexa Mellardo’s mom makes a leftover stuffing brunch bake for their family of 18.
•The recipe uses five ingredients including 2 cups of stuffing, 4 eggs, ½ cup each of milk and Monterey Jack cheese, plus butter.
•Preparation time takes 7 minutes before baking the dish in a 350°F oven for about 30 minutes until set.
•This stuffing brunch dish helps reduce food waste and serves as a comforting start to their holiday celebrations like decorating and tailgating.

Alexa Mellardo’s mom just broke Thanksgiving’s stretchy food timeline by turning leftover stuffing into a 7-minute prep, 30-minute bake miracle called the 'brunch bake.' This casserole starring 2 cups of sausage-cranberry stuffing, 4 whisked eggs, ½ cup of farm-fresh milk, and a Monterey Jack cheese cameo cooks at 350°F in a greased 9-by-13-inch pan. With only five ingredients and zero wizardry, the dish promises leftovers hero status after an 18-person Italian-Turkey feast uniting all your carb and cheese fantasies. Bonus: it’s the hobbit hole for Sundays after Black Friday sales and pre-Christmas tree chaos.
