Chestnut Stuffing

[southernbelle]

Ingredients:
2 cups chestnuts
1 1/2 cups margarine
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
2 (1 pound) loaves day-old bread, cubed
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk

Directions:
-With a sharp knife, cut slits in the surface of the chestnuts. Place chestnuts in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook 25 minutes, or until tender. Drain, peel, and chop.

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

-Melt margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in chestnuts, onion, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning, and cook until onions are tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium baking dish, and mix with the cubed bread.

-In a small bowl, beat together eggs and milk, and drizzle over the cubed bread mixture.

-Bake 30 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until surface is crisp and lightly browned.
