Ingredients
- Italian sausage
- 1 pound, casings removed
- Butter
- 4 tablespoons
- Onion
- 1 medium, diced
- Celery
- 2 stalks, diced
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Endive
- 4 cups, chopped
- Fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup, chopped
- Fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon, chopped
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Chicken broth
- 2 cups
- Bread cubes
- 4 cups, preferably stale or toasted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, celery, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped endive to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, bread cubes, chicken broth, parsley, sage, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite proteins.
Tips
- For added texture, consider using a mix of different bread types for the bread cubes.
- This stuffing can be made ahead of time. Assemble everything, cover, and refrigerate, then bake when ready to serve.
- Feel free to add nuts or dried fruits like cranberries for a sweet and savory twist.
