Description
Savory Sausage Stuffing is a rich, herb-filled dish combining Italian sausage, onions, celery and cubed bread, all baked with sage and thyme for fragrant and delicious stuffing. A crispy top and soft interior are essential additions to any festive meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
Cook the Sausage
Cook Italian sausage over medium heat until browned, 15-20 minutes (at 70°C).
Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Tip: Break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks for even distribution.
Sauté Vegetables
Melt butter and sauté chopped onion and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.
Tip: Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from browning too quickly.
Mix the Stuffing
In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, fresh sage, thyme, cubed bread and chicken broth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tip: Use stale bread or toast fresh bread cubes for the best texture.
Bake the Stuffing
Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for 15 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
Tip: For an extra crispy top, broil for 2-3 minutes.
