Print Recipe

A unique twist on traditional stuffing, combining soft pretzels, beer, and cheddar cheese for a savory, indulgent holiday dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups cubed soft pretzels (day-old pretzels work best)
  • 1 cup beer (light lager or amber ale)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups chicken or vegetable broth (or more if needed)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cube the pretzels into bite-sized pieces and set them aside. Chop the onion, celery, and herbs, and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pretzel cubes, sautéed veggies, and shredded cheese. Stir to evenly distribute.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beer, broth, and eggs. Pour this mixture over the pretzel mixture and gently toss until coated. If it feels too dry, add a bit more broth.
  5. Sprinkle in the parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Give everything one last mix.
  6. Grease your baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Pour the stuffing mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden and slightly crisp.
  8. Let the stuffing cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Day-old pretzels soak up liquids better, so plan ahead.’, ‘Use a mild beer like lager or amber ale for best flavor.’, ‘Taste and adjust seasoning before baking.’, ‘Sprinkle extra cheese on top 5 minutes before baking for added cheesiness.’]
