Prep Ingredients - Preheat your oven to 350°F. Shred the carrot, mince the garlic, dice the onion, and celery.
Sauté Vegetables - In a medium pot or large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the carrot, onion, and celery, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until tender. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 2- 3 minutes until fragrant.
Add broth - Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring to a boil, then immediately remove from heat.
Combine with stuffing mix - Add the Pepperidge Farm Stuffing mix to the pot and stir until evenly combined.
Bake- Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden. Serve warm.

Notes
Prep veggies evenly - Dice carrots, onions, and celery the same size so they cook uniformly.
Sauté first - Cooking your vegetables in butter before adding broth boosts flavor and depth.
Control moisture - Add broth gradually to keep the stuffing moist but not soggy.
Customize easily - Mix in cooked sausage, cranberries, or nuts for a festive twist.
Use a greased dish - Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
