Stuffing for Thanksgiving or Christmas
Nothing is better than spending a warm, fun Christmas with your friends and family with a feast to eat. Most of us remember the sweet deserts and savory snacks, but the one thing everyone remembers is the stuffing. Today, I’m here to share with you a delicious recipe for Christmas stuffing with sausage.
Ingredients:
- 16 cups of 1-inch bread cubes, white or sourdough (1 1/2 pound loaf)
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) of unsalted butter
- 2 cups of medium-diced yellow onions (2 onions)
- 1 cup of medium-diced celery (2 stalks)
- 2 Granny Smith apples, unpeeled, cored and large-diced
- 2 tablespoons of chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon of kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 pound of sweet or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 cup of chicken stock
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.
- Place the bread cubes in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake for 7 minutes.
- Raise the temperature to 350 degrees.
- Move the bread cubes to a large bowl.
- Melt butter, add the onions, celery, apples, parsley, salt and pepper into a large saucepan. Saute over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Add to the bread cubes.
- In the same saute pan, cook the sausage over medium heat for about 10 minutes (or until cooked thoroughly), break up the sausage with a fork while cooking. Add to the bread cubes and vegetables.
- Add chicken stock to the mixture, mix well, and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes, until browned on top and hot in the middle.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
