Sausage and Apple Stuffing (Remake)

Believe it or not, Thanksgiving will be here before we know it. Next week is Halloween after all… Since the biggest food holiday of the year is quickly approaching I thought I would share a Thanksgiving favorite with you. Two years ago I shared our stuffing recipe—that recipe was delicious, but last year we made some changes to the recipe and it ended up being even better. So, here you have our remade stuffing recipe.

What You’ll Need…

2 Kings Hawaiian Round Loaves (Or any other bread you like.)

1 Celery Rib (Chopped)

1 Large Carrot (Chopped)

1 Apple (Chopped)

½ Large Onion (Diced)

4 Large Mushrooms (Chopped)

1 Tablespoon Butter

2-3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

3 Links Uncooked Sausage (Any kind you like.)

1 ½ - 2 Cups Chicken Stock

Salt (To taste)

Pepper (To taste)

The night before you plan to serve the stuffing, cut the two loaves of bread into slices and place them on a baking sheet. Cover the bread with a clean kitchen towel and leave out overnight. The next day the bread will be slightly stale and that is perfect for this dish.

Before doing anything with the bread start on the fruit/vegetables. Wash, peel, cut, and chop. Whether you leave the skin on the apple or take it off it up to you. Once the fruit and vegetables are prepped place one tablespoon of butter and 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. Once the oil has heated add the carrots to the pan and allow them to start to soften. Add the celery and onions next, then the mushrooms, and lastly the apple.

While the vegetables are cooking remove the sausage from the casings and allow it to cook in another skillet.

Once the vegetables and sausage are done cooking allow them to cool slightly and move onto the bread. Cut the bread into ½ -1 inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.  

Add the vegetables, sausage, stock, and spices to the bowl with the bread and mix until combined. This is most easily done with your hands; which is why you want the vegetables and sausage to cool slightly.

Once combined carefully pour your stuffing mixture into 2 greased casserole dishes. (1 9x13 and 1 slightly smaller.)

Bake the stuffing at 350 for 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
