Pork Sausage Dressing Recipes

SAUSAGE DRESSING

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook and crumble sausage with onion and celery over medium heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage mixture to a greased 5-qt. slow cooker., Stir in broth, eggs, melted butter, sage and pepper. Add remaining ingredients; mix lightly to combine., Cook, covered, on low until a thermometer inserted in center reads 165°, 3-4 hours, stirring once.

PORK SAUSAGE DRESSING

Steps:

• 1. Crumble sausage and brown in skillet, drain off excess fat. Then add celery and onion to sausage, stir and continue to brown for 1-3 minutes. Season with pepper to taste. Add butter buds, cover and steam until celery is tender (about 10 min). Add large bag of bread stuffing to large mixing bowl. Add 2 eggs, sausage mixture, and 2 cups of hot broth. Add chopped turkey gizzard, neck, liver if desired. Mix well. Put in a 3 QT Crockpot and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Makes 12 servings.
• 2. This sausage can be baked inside a turkey or casserole. If using a casserole, bake at 350 degrees for at least 45 minutes (to heat through). I recommend the Crockpot because it is lower calorie than stuffing a turkey and saves room in the oven for other items. Also you can start early in morning and helps last minute preparations not be hectic. Use of the Crockpot liner, also helps with clean-up. I use 3-12 ounces of Jimmy Deans low fat sausage. However, you can use any type of pork sausage, use 2- 16 ounce packages and you can mix 1 regular with 1 hot sausage for a spicier variation. You can use real eggs and margarine, however it is such a high fat, calorie dish, that the lighter version is preferred. If making sausage dressing for a pork roast, use beef broth and do not use turkey pieces.

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.

MOIST AND TASTY PORK STUFFING

Steps:

• Place meat, onion, celery and seasoning in a pot. Cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for one hour stirring occasionally to break up meat chunks.
• Remove from heat. If there is an excess amount of liquid pour in a cup and reserve. Stir in the stuffing mixture. This mixture should be a little dryer than you like it since it will absorb some of the turkey juices. If too dry, add some of the reserved liquid.
• The stuffing can be prepared the night before and refrigerated overnight. This makes enough to stuff a 20 lb bird. Remember not to stuff your turkey until it is ready to cook. You can cook the stuffing that didn't fit in your bird in a crock pot (or in the oven if you have room).
