This is a family favorite that we make throughout the year. It starts with a classic herb stuffing mix, and we add cooked pork sausage to give it extra flavor. It’s a simple recipe that’s always a hit with family and friends.

 

Sausage Herb Stuffing

Ingredients

4 Tbsp butter

1 cup diced onion (about 1 large)

1 cup diced celery (about 2 stalks)

2 cups chicken broth

1 package Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned Cubed Stuffing

1 lb Jimmy Dean Regular Pork Sausage

 

Directions

  1. In a skillet, cook the Jimmy Dean pork sausage over medium heat until fully browned. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  2. In a 4-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the diced onion and celery and cook until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the stuffing mix.
  6. Add the cooked sausage and mix lightly until combined.
  7. Spoon the stuffing mixture into a greased 2-quart casserole dish.
  8. Cover and bake at 350° F for about 35 minutes, or until hot.
