Sage and Sausage Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe {Pepperidge Farm}

Stuffing is a traditional side dish that is a staple at just about every Thanksgiving table. I’ve always loved stuffing recipes that are passed down from generation to generation, but I’d don’t love making stuffing from scratch. I’m not a fan of drying out and making stale bread! So, when I heard about the new Pepperidge Farm Unseasoned Cubed Stuffing, I was thrilled.  I can finally make my favorite “from scratch” stuffing {{wink}} without all the hassle of preparing the bread. Here’s how to make a fabulous Sage and Sausage Thanksgiving Stuffing that I guarantee will fly off the table!

Sage and Sausage Thanksgiving Stuffing Ingredients

• 1 pkg. (12 ounces)  Pepperidge Farm ® Unseasoned Cubed Stuffing
• Chicken or turkey broth, 2-3 cups
• 1 onion, diced
• Celery, 4 stalks, diced
• Breakfast Sausage
• Sage, fresh

Stuffing Directions {Step-by-Step}

Step 1

: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Brown the breakfast sausage in a 10″ skillet. Drain fat.

Step 2

: Dice the onion and stalks of celery. Finely chop a handful of fresh Sage to make 2 tablespoons.

Step 3

: Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a 10″ skillet. Saute diced onion and celery until the onion is transparent.

Step 4

: Empty contents of unseasoned cubed stuffing into a mixing bowl. Add sauteed onion, celery and ground sausage. Add one cup of broth to the stuffing at a time until the stuffing is moist. I used approximately 2 1/2 cups. Add chopped sage, salt and pepper.

Step 5:

Spray Pam or other non-stick spray to casserole dish. Pour stuffing in dish. Bake for 30 minutes, covered for a moist and softer stuffing. Or, my favorite way, bake uncovered for crisp and crunchy stuffing.  Enjoy!
