A Savory Side to Love!
Stuffing is a long-time favorite dish at our house – especially for the holidays, and it’s a definite must on our table of Thanksgiving side dishes. Although we typically make our classic Stuffing recipe for the holidays, we love to switch it up and make a variation of it like today’s Sausage Stuffing. Not only is it flavorful but it’s more hearty because of the addition of sausage – another great option for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 20 minutesCOOK TIME: 60 minutes
8 cups unseasoned stuffing cubes – use store-bought or make your own using stale bread. Cut your favorite bread into cubes and leave it out overnight to dry out. Or put the bread cubes on a baking sheet and put it in a 250°F oven for about 20 minutes. ½ cup unsalted butter 1 cup yellow onion 1 cup celery – about 3 stalks 4 garlic cloves 1 pound sweet Italian sausage – I used sweet but you can use mild or spicy Italian sausage. 2¾ cup chicken broth – or use chicken stock or vegetable broth 1 egg 1 tablespoon rosemary 1 tablespoon sage ¼ cup chopped parsley ½ teaspoon garlic salt (with parsley flakes) ½ teaspoon black pepper optional mix-ins – bacon bits, pears, dried cranberries, chopped veggies, mushrooms, chopped pecans, or walnuts. Be careful to keep the ingredient ratios balanced otherwise, you may end up with dry stuffing.
