What to do with stale bread? Make Strata!

One of the timeless kitchen creativity questions is what to do with crusty, hard stale bread. French toast comes to mind first for me, but I don’t always want to have that for breakfast. Another option is a dish called Strata.

I had a bunch of hard rolls that had just gotten too, well, hard. I had some ground beef and didn’t really feel like hamburgers, so I went to the store to gather some ingredients to make a strata.

Abuela’s Stuffing + My Modifications

One of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes growing up was the stuffing my abuela made. I try to make it each year, but like every other recipe, I can’t leave well enough alone. This year, I felt inspired to document my little Carma-izing journey of my grandmother’s stuffing recipe and share it with you.

Ingredients:

  • 1 loaf of toasted stale bread
  • 1 medium or half a large onion
  • 1 lb ground meat (beef, sausage or both)
  • 1 container sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 small can olives
  • 2 large eggs
  • Poultry seasoning (to taste)
  • Milk or chicken broth

Directions:
