Sausage Stuffing Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 24 ounce loaf of soft white bread

  cubed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound spicy Italian Sausage

  use mild for less spicy
• 8 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium onion

  chopped
• 2 jalapeno peppers

  chopped (use bell pepper for less spicy)
• 2 stalks celery

  chopped
• 4 cloves garlic

  chopped (or more as desired)
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning blend
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 2 eggs

  beaten
• ¼ cup parsley + more for garnish

Instructions

• 1 Heat oven to 275 degrees F. (135 C). Add cubed bread to a couple of baking
  sheets and bake them for 30 minutes, stirring here and there, until they get
  fairly dry. No need to toast them here, just dry them out. Drying them out helps
  the bread absorb more of the moisture. Remove and set aside.
• 2 While the bread is baking, heat the oil in a pan and cook the Italian sausage,
  breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes. It should cook mostly
  through.
• 3 Add the butter, onion, peppers and celery. Stir and melt the butter. Cook
  another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables soften up.
• 4 Add the garlic, Cajun seasonings and salt and pepper. Cook another minute.
  Remove from heat.
• 5 Add the bread cubes to a large bowl, then add the sausage-vegetable mixture,
  along with the chicken broth, beaten eggs and ¼ parsley. Gently stir until
  everything is nicely mixed together.
• 6 Increase oven heat to 350 degrees F (175C).
• 7 Pour the stuffing into a large lightly oiled baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes,
  or until the top is nicely browned.
• 8 Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
