Sausage Stuffing Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by cooking pork sausage with finely diced onions and chopped celery until the sausage is browned and the vegetables are tender. In a large bowl, day-old ciabatta bread cubes are moistened with chicken broth and beaten eggs to create a custard-like mixture that binds the stuffing. The cooked sausage mixture is folded in along with poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper to impart savory and herb flavors.
The stuffing is transferred to a buttered casserole dish and topped with small pieces of butter before baking at 350°F for 45 to 60 minutes. This baking time allows the outer edges to crisp slightly while keeping the interior moist and tender with a balanced blend of meats, vegetables, and seasoning.
Covering the dish with foil during baking can prevent the edges from becoming too crispy, allowing control of the final texture. This stuffing is suitable as a side dish for holiday meals or gatherings.
Ingredients
- 12 oz pork sausage
- 1 yellow onion finely diced
- 3 ribs celery chopped
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 12 cups ciabatta bread day-old, cubed in 1-inch pieces (or french bread)
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth plus more if needed (or turkey broth)
- 3 large egg beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook sausage, onions, and celery, breaking apart the sausage as it browns. Once the sausage is fully cooked and veggies are tender, remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, add bread cubes. Pour over chicken broth and eggs and toss to coat well. If the bread is soaking up the chicken broth quickly and seems dry, add in some extra broth.
- Stir bread cubes with cooked sausage, veggies, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Pour into well-buttered casserole dish. Dot the top with butter and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour. If you don't want the edges or the top to get crispy, cover with foil while baking. Serve warm.
