SAUSAGE BREAD DRESSING



Sausage Bread Dressing image

My husband and father go crazy for this dressing. Leftovers are rare but they freeze quite well. To save time, chop the veggies and prepare (but don't bake) the dressing up to two days ahead of time and refrigerate. Add a little baking time since it will be cold. -Bette Votral, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Old-Fashioned Bread Stuffing with Sausage image

Traditional bread stuffing with sausage, just like my dad's ~ almost. A favorite and must have on my Thanksgiving table.

Provided by Kelly Wildenhaus | the hungry bluebird

Categories     Side Dish

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), more for baking dish
2 lbs good quality white bread, cut into 1-inch cubes ((about 20 cups))
4 ribs celery, plus some leafy tops, finely diced ((1½ cups))
2 carrots, finely diced ((1 cup))
1 sweet onion, finely diced ((2½ cups))
1 lb bulk pork breakfast sausage
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh sage
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme
3 cups homemade turkey stock, or chicken broth or stock
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350º. Spread bread cubes on two large baking sheets and toast for 30 minutes, stirring and rotating pans, until lightly browned and crisp. Transfer to very large bowl when done.
  • Meanwhile, in large skillet, melt 1 stick of butter. Pour half the melted butter in a bowl and reserve for later, to brush the top of the stuffing. To the pan with remaining melted butter, add celery, carrots and onion, a sprinkle of salt, and cook and stir over medium-high heat until softened and starting to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer vegetables to bowl. Add sausage to skillet in chunks, and cook, breaking it up with wooden spoon, until cooked through and lightly browned, about 6 minutes.
  • Return vegetable mixture to the skillet and add the sage and thyme, a little salt and pepper, and cook for 1 minute. Add 1 cup of stock, cook and stir up any browned bits, until stock is reduced and cooked down by half, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer sausage mixture to bowl with the toasted bread cubes. Add remaining 2 to 2½ cups of stock and toss well until bread cubes are evenly moistened. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Spread stuffing into large, buttered baking dish (about 3½ quart size) and brush with the reserved melted butter.
  • Bake in center of oven until heated through and nicely browned, about 1 hour, rotating casserole halfway through. Let stuffing rest 10 minutes before serving.
