I made this dish the other night along side the roast chicken and green beans mentioned in my previous post…it was pretty yummy! Who doesn’t love roasted garlic???
Ingredients
- 1 (14 oz) package seasoned bread cubes
- 4 tbs unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 2 large celery stalks, chopped
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 12 ounces ground breakfast sausage
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 1/4 cup roasted garlic
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tbs chopped fresh sage (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 tbs chopped fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350
- Spray a 9×13 glass baking dish with cooking spray
- Put bread cubes in large bowl
- Melt 1 tbs butter in large skillet over medium high heat. Add onion, celery, salt, and pepper to cook, stirring occasionally till the onion is browned 8 to 10 minutes; pour mixture over bread cubes when completed
- Set the same skillet over medium heat and put sausage in the pan. Cook the sausage, breaking it apart into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, till browned (about 5 mins)
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to the bowl; pour off excess fat from skillet
- Return the skillet to medium heat
- Add the water, roasted garlic, remaining 3 tbs of butter, parsley, sage, and thyme, and stir to scrape up browned bits
- Bring to a simmer, then pour into the bowl and stir well to combine
- Transfer stuffing to baking dish, cover with foil, and cook for 25-30 minutes.
- Uncover and bake till top crisps slightly, 5 to 10 minutes more.
