A classic, moist sausage stuffing recipe with a crisp top, perfect for your holiday table. This recipe is easy to prepare ahead of time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 cups dried bread cubes (about 1 standard loaf)
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and celery to the skillet with the sausage. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 8 minutes.
  3. Stir in the sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  4. In a very large bowl, combine the dried bread cubes and the sausage mixture. Toss to distribute evenly.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and the beaten eggs.
  6. Pour the broth mixture over the bread and sausage mixture. Toss gently until the bread is evenly moistened. Do not overmix.
  7. Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crisp.

Notes

  • For make ahead stuffing: Prepare the mixture up to the point of adding the liquid. Store the bread mixture and the liquid mixture separately in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Combine and bake as directed, adding 10 minutes to the covered baking time.
  • To scale for two servings: Use half the ingredients and bake in a small, oven-safe dish (about 8×8 inches). Reduce covered baking time to 20 minutes.
  • For a crispier top, you can bake this uncovered for the last 30 minutes instead of the final 15-20 minutes.
