Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound mild Italian sausage
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 celery stalks, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups pineapple chunks (canned or fresh), drained
- 8 cups day-old bread cubes
- 1.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and celery. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes to slightly caramelize them. Remove the skillet from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sautéed onion mixture, bread cubes, thyme, sage, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the mixture and toss until the bread absorbs the liquid.
Stir in the beaten eggs to bind the stuffing. Mix well until evenly combined.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Delicious Pineapple Sausage Stuffing!
