A comforting and savory mix of herbs, sausage, and crisped bread, perfect for holiday feasts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 cups cubed day-old bread
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced celery
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon sage
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or broth
- 2 large eggs
- 2 to 2 1/2 cups warm chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (149°C). Toast cubed bread for 10–15 minutes until dry but not browned, or leave overnight to stale.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground pork sausage over medium-high heat and then remove excess fat.
- Sauté the diced onion and celery in butter until soft, about 6–8 minutes.
- Add sage, thyme, black pepper, and chopped parsley to the skillet; deglaze with wine or broth if desired.
- In a large bowl, combine the sausage mixture with the toasted bread.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs with warm chicken broth and pour into the bread mixture, stirring until evenly moistened.
- Pack the mixture into a buttered 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 30–40 minutes until set and golden.
Notes
Rest the stuffing for 10 minutes after baking to help it hold shape when scooped.
