BEST SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Place sausage in a large, deep skillet; cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown, about 10 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet and let drain on paper towels. Combine melted margarine with the sausage drippings until there is 1 cup of drippings and margarine combined.
• Cook and stir onion and celery in the margarine-dripping mixture in the same skillet over medium heat until onion is tender but not browned, about 10 minutes . Stir in about 1/3 of the bread cubes. Pour onion mixture into a large bowl and stir in remaining bread cubes, sausage, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Watch your hands, it's hot. Mix well. This stuffing is ready for baking.

Steps:

Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes.

BONNIE'S SAVORY SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• To make things go faster, prep the breads the night before. Cut the Glutino English Muffins into one inch cubes, and put them on a flat pan in a 300 degree oven. Slowly dry and toast the bread until it is a lovely golden brown. Transfer the bread cubes to a large bowl. Do the same with the corn bread. I bake the bread cubes in separate pans because the corn bread browns faster than the English muffins.
• Chop the vegetables and apples. This can all be done the day before.
• Add 3 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet. Break apart the Jimmy Dean's sausage with a fork, and add the seasonings and cook it about five minutes.
• Add the vegetables and apples to the sausage and continue cooking until the sausage is cooked through.
• Pour the meat mixture on top of the toasted breads in the mixing bowl.
• Mix butter into the 2 ½ cups of broth and stir to blend and pour over everything in the mixing bowl. Gently mix to combine with a spatula. It will look a little wet, that is okay. Just make sure the bread is covered.
• Pour into a 9 X 13 greased baking dish. Cover with foil and Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove foil to brown top, about 10 more minutes. Enjoy!
• Yummy!

SWEET AND SAVORY SAUSAGE CORNBREAD STUFFING

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Add sausage to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir with a spatula, breaking apart the sausage until cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Melt butter in the same skillet. Cook onion and celery, stirring constantly, until onion is soft and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Season with sage, salt, and pepper. Stir in sausage, cornbread, bread cubes, and chicken broth.
• Transfer stuffing to a 2-quart baking dish.

SAUSAGE STUFFING WITH SUMMER SAVORY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees, and butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Boil potatoes in salted water until just cooked through but still firm in center. When cool, cut into 1-inch dice. Set aside.
• Melt remaining butter and oil together in large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and celery, and cook, stirring, until softened. Reduce heat if necessary to prevent browning.
• Raise heat to medium-high, add sausage and cook, stirring, using a wooden spoon to break up clumps. When sausage has browned slightly add potatoes, and continue cooking until they are incorporated and slightly browned. Add bread cubes, and mix.
• Add about half the broth, and mix. If needed, add more to soften bread cubes and to bind the stuffing together. Add salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon summer savory. Taste, and add more savory if desired.
• Turn into buttered dish. If mixture seems dry, drizzle on remaining stock. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, until firm and crusty. (The stuffing is even better if mixed in advance, kept refrigerated and baked just before serving.)
