A tried-and-true sausage stuffing recipe that bakes up moist inside with a golden, crisp top, full of savory herbs perfect for your holiday meal.

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
  • 12 cups dried bread cubes (about 1 pound)
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned. Drain off excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped onion and celery to the skillet with the sausage. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  5. In a very large bowl, combine the dried bread cubes and the sausage-vegetable mixture. Toss gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and the lightly beaten eggs.
  7. Pour the broth and egg mixture over the bread mixture. Toss everything together until the bread is evenly moistened. Do not overmix.
  8. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  9. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is heated through.

Notes

  • For a crispier top, you can bake the stuffing uncovered.
  • To prepare ahead, mix all ingredients except the eggs and broth. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Before baking, mix in the eggs and broth, let it sit for 30 minutes at room temperature, then bake as directed.
  • To scale for a smaller meal, reduce all ingredients proportionally and bake in an 8×8 inch dish.
