Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 pound mild Italian sausage (casings removed)
- 1/2 cup butter (divided use)
- 1 cup onion (finely diced)
- 1 cup celery (sliced)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 8 cups stale bread cubes (can use store bought unseasoned stuffing cubes, or bread you cut yourself)
- 2 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves (minced)
- 1/4 cup parsley leaves (minced, plus more for garnish)
- salt and pepper to taste
- cooking spray
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9" x 13" pan with cooking spray.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook for 5-6 minutes or until done, breaking up the meat with a spatula.
- Add the remaining 7 tablespoons of butter, onion and celery to the pan. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Place the bread cubes in a large bowl. Add the sausage mixture, chicken broth, eggs, sage, parsley and salt and pepper to the bowl.
- Gently stir until everything is well combined. Pour the stuffing into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 60 minutes. If the top starts to get overly browned before the cooking time is over, then cover the pan with foil.
- Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with additional parsley, then serve.
