Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 large, diced yellow onion
- 3 stalks, diced celery
- 2 cloves, minced fresh garlic
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 whole large eggs
- 8 cups day-old bread cubes
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and celery, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the ground pork sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the dried sage, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and eggs until well combined.
Add the day-old bread cubes to the bowl, followed by the sausage mixture and chopped parsley. Toss everything together until the bread is fully coated and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Let the dressing cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
