A savory, moist bread stuffing featuring sausage and fresh herbs, perfect for holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 12 cups dried bread cubes (about 1 standard loaf)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon until it is fully browned. Drain off excess grease and set the sausage aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and celery. Cook until softened, about 8 minutes.
  4. Stir the sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper into the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. In a very large bowl, combine the dried bread cubes, cooked sausage, and chopped parsley. Mix well.
  6. Pour the cooked vegetable and sausage mixture over the bread mixture. Toss gently to combine.
  7. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and chicken broth.
  8. Pour the egg and broth mixture evenly over the bread mixture. Toss everything gently until the bread is evenly moistened. Do not overmix.
  9. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  10. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is hot.

Notes

  • For make ahead preparation, mix all ingredients except the broth and eggs. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Before baking, mix the eggs and broth, add to the stuffing, and proceed with baking, adding 10 to 15 minutes to the bake time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
  • To scale for fewer servings, use half the ingredients and bake in a smaller dish. The bake time should remain similar if the depth of the stuffing is the same.
  • For a crispier top, uncover the stuffing for the last 10 minutes of baking.
