Sausage Stuffing Recipe By My Name Is Snickerdoodle
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound ground sausage
– 1 loaf of day-old bread, diced into cubes
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 stalks of celery, diced
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup of dried cranberries
– 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
– 1 teaspoon of dried sage
– 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
– 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
– 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, melted
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, diced bread cubes, dried cranberries, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
5. Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the bread mixture and gently toss to moisten the ingredients evenly. Drizzle the melted butter over the top and mix it in.
6. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
8. Once done, remove the stuffing from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the delicious aroma that will fill your home!
