Kates Easy Sausage Parmesan Stuffing Dressing 8 Ingredients Recipes

EASY SAUSAGE & HERB STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with butter.
• Place the stuffing cubes in a large mixing bowl.
• In a large sauté pan, melt the butter. Add the onions and celery and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Add the vegetables to the stuffing cubes. (Don't wash the pan but scrape out every last bit of vegetables, otherwise they will burn in the next step.)
• In the same pan, cook the sausage over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, until browned and cooked through, breaking up the sausage with a metal spatula while cooking (the largest pieces should be no greater than ¼-inch). Add the browned sausage and fat to the bread cubes and vegetables.
• Add the chicken broth, egg, rosemary, sage, parsley, salt and pepper to the bread cube mixture and mix until the bread is soft and moistened. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish and bake for 65-75 minutes, uncovered, until deeply golden and crisp on top.
• Note: If you can't find bulk sausage, simply buy regular sausage and remove the casings.
• Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The stuffing can be assembled up to a day ahead and refrigerated until ready to bake; follow the baking instructions in the recipe. It can also can be frozen after baking, tightly covered, for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve it, defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Reheat it, covered with foil, in a 325°F oven until hot.

TRADITIONAL SAUSAGE STUFFING RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
• Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add in ground sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add in onion and celery and saute until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes, and sausage is cooked. Add in butter and allow it to melt.
• Whisk in flour until all white specks disappear and cook 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, season with salt and pepper, and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil. Once boiling the mixture will thicken quickly. Once it thickens remove from heat and set aside.
• In a small bowl whisk together the egg and heavy cream. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl mix together the stale diced bread*, dried cranberries, and fresh herbs. Slowly pour the cream mixture over it and stir to moisten everything. Then pour the chicken broth and sausage mixture over and stir to combine. Immediately transfer it to the prepared 9x13 pan and spread it out in an even layer.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes, until the top starts to brown. Serve hot.

BEST SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Place sausage in a large, deep skillet; cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown, about 10 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet and let drain on paper towels. Combine melted margarine with the sausage drippings until there is 1 cup of drippings and margarine combined.
• Cook and stir onion and celery in the margarine-dripping mixture in the same skillet over medium heat until onion is tender but not browned, about 10 minutes . Stir in about 1/3 of the bread cubes. Pour onion mixture into a large bowl and stir in remaining bread cubes, sausage, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Watch your hands, it's hot. Mix well. This stuffing is ready for baking.
