Andi's Don't Mess With Texas Sausage Dressing
- 1 pound of pork sausage, browned
- 1 box of herb-flavored Stove Top or other stuffing mix, prepared
- 2 cans of chicken (or veggie) broth of your choice
- 1 package of cornbread, cooked and crumbled
- 3 slices of sandwich bread (white, wheat, whatev), also crumbled
- 3 eggs
- 1 medium white or yellow onion, sauteed
- a handful of celery, sauteed (I never put this in)
- salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste -- I usually add a bit of poultry seasoning for some extra sage flavor
Pour all of your ingredients (minus the broth) into a bowl the size of a wheelbarrow. Mix it all around until it's combined and the breads are nicely crumbled. Add broth until your mixture is pretty darn wet (I usually use 1.5 cans of broth).
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 pan and cook on 350 for about 45 minutes.
This dressing is soooo yummy! The Stove Top adds most of the seasonings you'll need, and the sausage is a little extra savory kick. It's perfection, if you ask me. If you'r especially fond of additional ingredients like boiled eggs or sauteed carrots, go ahead and add them! It'll just make this dressing even more delicious and tailored to your tastes.
Sadly I don't have a picture of this one, but just imagine me making this silly joyful face when it comes out of the oven!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays, my friends!
It sounds yummy!! And your face.... haha. I don't care what face you're making. I still think you look great :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, thank you!
DeleteThis sounds AMAZING. (And I agree wholeheartedly on stuffing not stuffed into things called dressing, because it just makes more sense that way).
ReplyDeleteMy mom's side of the family has a strange oyster dressing tradition, which is apparently a Maryland thing, and unfortunately I love oysters and love dressing and find that combining the two is a really good way to ruin both. So I'll be trying to find a bowl the size of a wheelbarrow so I can make this instead. I'm hungry just thinking about it.
Right on and HIGH FIVE about the stuffing vs. dressing debate. We win! And I've always thought the oyster dressing sounded kind of promising, but I'll take your word for it. Sausage it is!
DeleteYeah, it sounds like it would be good... it just doesn't work for me.
DeleteIt sounds yummy! Maybe for New Year's...
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it!
DeleteHmm...now I'm trying to figure out how to make that gluten free. Cause it sounds so damn good!!! I loooooove me some dressin'.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, there's a gluten free everything somewhere. I Googled and found a gluten-free cornbread mix!
DeleteDressing is the best. I've never had one the sausage so I need to try this soon. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI've never wanted any other kind of dressing since I tried this recipe many years ago. So so so good. The sausage adds tons of flavor. I'm tempted to make a big pan of this for myself while I'm iced in. lol
DeleteMy dad makes a sausage dressing every year. Maybe I should whip this up for Christmas and impress the heck out of him!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I bet your family would love that!
DeleteIt sounds good enough to eat for dinner tonight. I think I'll give it a try. I enjoyed your advent post. Have a Merry Christmas. kelley—the road goes ever ever on
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it, Kelley!
DeleteI've made stuffing before with sausage and apples. What I like about your recipe is the use of Stove Top stuffing. (See, they know it should be called stuffing.) I'm looking forward to trying this. Great, fun post. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Margot! The Stove Top is a nice shortcut to get the seasonings right. It has a lot of flavor.
DeleteI'm so making this; how can anything with sausage in it not be yummy? I think I'd like sausage and m and m's even! xo
ReplyDeleteI thought of you when I was posting this, Bellezza. I think I promised to post it a couple of years ago and then flaked out and I remembered that you were disappointed. ;)
Deleteahh - so that is the difference between dressing and stuffing - I always wondered. This sounds delicious - you had me at sausage and stove top!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Not healthy, but definitely delicious.
DeleteMy husband was the first to tell me the difference between stuffing and dressing. So, he makes dressing but my mother makes stuffing! Either way, this sounds delicious! I wonder if you could add a little bit for fruit for an accent? Like raisins or chopped apples? No idea why but I love fruit in dressing
ReplyDeleteI definitely think you could add some fruit! That would be delicious. I think apples would be especially good in this one.
DeleteSounds yummy! I don't do pork or anything else from a piggy, but I could prob use turkey/chicken/any other kind of sausage!
ReplyDeleteI've never had stuffing (dressing?) with sausage in it. I'm not sure what to think. You seem to be pretty excited about it though!
ReplyDeleteRidiculous, I know, but up until now I never knew the difference between stuffing and dressing! Mind you, I knew there was a difference, with a Yankee mom and Southern gentleman dad, but no one ever 'splained this to me.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Virtual Advent post!
Ooh, never thought of adding cornbread to the stuffing. Bread and sausage stuffing is my family's traditional stuffing/dressing. It's very British and I can't seem to ever like anything else other than this one. But I like the idea of cornbread. I might have to try that next time! (Although I also only ever like stuffing when someone else in my family makes it. HA!)
