Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or hot, casings removed)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Onion (finely chopped)
- 3 stalks Celery (chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 8 cups Crusty bread (cubed, preferably day-old, about 1-inch pieces)
- 2 cups Chicken broth (low-sodium)
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh sage (chopped)
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 Eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Remove the sausage using a slotted spoon and set it aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5-6 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread, cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until evenly mixed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread and sausage mixture. Gently mix until the bread is moistened but not soggy.
Transfer the stuffing mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Remove the stuffing from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
