Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 stalks Celery, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 12 cups Bread cubes (day-old, dried or toasted)
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon Dried sage
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Once fully cooked, remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, chopped celery, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Spray the crock pot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, bread cubes, fresh parsley, dried sage, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and eggs. Pour the mixture over the bread and sausage mixture, tossing gently until everything is evenly moistened.
Transfer the dressing mixture to the prepared crock pot, spreading it out evenly.
Cover and cook on LOW setting for 4 hours or until the dressing is cooked through and hot. Stir gently halfway through the cooking time if needed to ensure even cooking.
Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the dressing sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve the sausage dressing warm as a delicious side dish!
