Homemade Stovetop Stuffing with Sausage
This simple and delicious skillet stovetop sausage stuffing is made completely from scratch in about 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 lb bulk ground sausage
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 small onion , chopped
- 4 ribs celery , chopped
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary, thyme and sage
- 5 cups dried stuffing bread cubes
- 1 ½ cups chicken, turkey or vegetable broth , warm
Instructions
- Brown sausage in skillet over medium high heat until cooked all the way through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add butter, onions, celery, garlic, and herbs to skillet and cook till veggies are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Return sausage to pan along with bread cubes and gently toss. Pour warm broth over the whole skillet, trying to moisten as many bread cubes as possible as you pour. Toss very gently.
- Cover skillet, turn off heat, and let sit for 15-20 minutes to let the bread cubes soak up the broth.
- (Optional) Place skillet under the broiler for 2-4 minutes to brown the top of the stuffing. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn.
- Serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for 5-7 days.
Notes
- Feel free to leave out sausage for a vegetarian option. Follow other instructions and amounts as written.
- Make sure the broth is very warm or hot! This ensures that the finished stuffing is still warm when you're ready to serve it.
- If desired, substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning for the fresh herbs.
- Make ahead options:
- Keep finished stuffing warm in a slow cooker on the warm setting for up to 4 hours.
- You can cook sausage and veggies up to a few days before and refrigerate, and then warm everything in a skillet and proceed with the recipe.
- Make the completed stuffing, store in the fridge for 1-2 days and reheat in the microwave or in a 350°F oven.
