Ingredients
  

  • 1 package andouille sausages cut in half horizontally and then cut into half-moon shapes
  • 1 package breakfast-style bulk sausage
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 large sweet onion diced
  • 3 ribs celery diced
  • 1 large red bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
  • 1 bag dry corn bread stuffing mix
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter cut into pieces

Equipment

  • Large Nonstick Skillet
  • 9×13-inch Baking Dish

Method
 

  1. Add all andouille sausages to a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, breaking up bulk sausage with a wooden spoon. Using a slotted spoon, remove sausage to a plate and set aside.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the pan with sausage grease and add onions, celery, and red peppers. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in green onions, hot sauce, thyme, and sage. Season with salt and pepper. Add sausage back to skillet and stir to combine.
  3. Transfer sausage mixture to a large bowl and stir in stuffing mix. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13×9-inch baking dish. Add enough broth to stuffing mix to moisten well (3/4 to 1 1/2 cups). Transfer to baking dish and scatter butter pieces across top. Cover with foil (butter the side that will face down so the stuffing will not stick) and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 30 more minutes.

Notes

  • Storage: Leftover stuffing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees until warmed through.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the stuffing for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
  • Pairing: This stuffing pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
  • Add vegetables: Feel free to experiment by adding other vegetables like mushrooms or carrots for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Spice it up: Adjust the level of heat by adding more hot sauce or using spicier sausage.
  • Herb variations: Try using different herbs like rosemary or parsley for a fresh twist.
