About the Recipe
Turkey Day stuffing made easy! My family always asks me to make this one!
Ingredients
1 lbs ground pork sausage (we use spicy breakfast sausage like Jimmy Deans)
1 loaf of french bread (12 cups cubed and dried) or use 2 bags of cubed stuffing mix
1/2 cup butter
1 cup of chopped celery
1 cup of chopped onion
2 cups of fresh sliced white or baby bella mushrooms chopped
2 cups chicken broth
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp sage
1 tbsp thyme
1/2 tbsp rosemary
2 tbsp dried parsley or 1/4 cup fresh parley chopped
Directions
Cut the bread loaf into 3/4-inch cubes and lay them out so they dry out a little. (This can be done several days ahead, the harder the bread the better the stuffing!)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish with non stick cooking spray
In a skillet, add the butter and pork sausage.
Break up sausage and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the onion, celery and cook for 2 minutes
Add in the mushrooms and continue to cook until sausage is browned through and mushrooms are soft
Stir in fresh parsley if using
Remove from heat
In a separate saucepan, warm the chicken broth
Add in the remaining seasonings and stir to combine
Remove from heat
Combine the sausage mixture and the chicken broth in a large bowl
Stir to combine
Add in the cubed bread, making sure each piece is coated with broth mixture
Spoon into the greased casserole dish
Bake for 30 minutes or until heated through
Serve and Enjoy
