Sausage and Mushroom Stuffing Recipe
This tasty Sausage and Mushroom Stuffing recipe creates enough for a crowd for that special holiday celebration.
Confession time: I’ve never been a big fan of stuffing. Usually it’s dry and crumbly or maybe too salty, and I find myself grabbing for a big swig of iced tea, or better yet more gravy. Stuffing has always been kind of ho-hum to me. So I decided to make some extra time to create a stuffing combination that my family and I might actually enjoy. Most of the time, the holiday meal is rushed and testing something new before hand is waylaid by life, and trying something new the day of can sometimes be much too stressful.
Stuffing experiment time was scheduled to fiddle with ingredients which resulted in this scrumptious Sausage and Mushroom Stuffing. So easy. And boy, did our home smell great! The kids came home from school wanting to know what smelled so good. They said they could smell it outside as soon as they got out of the car. What an aroma to come home to!
I began by a browning ground sausage in a pan, removed the sausage from the pan, and added sliced mushrooms and onions to cook in the remaining sausage grease for about 5 to 7 minutes until softened. Once the sausage has browned, and the mushrooms and onions have been cooked to a softening point, in goes … wait for it … soy sauce. Yep. Along with some other seasonings: ground nutmeg, ground ginger, oregano and sage. Cook them at a simmer for a short time.
Finish by adding in broth and Pepperidge Farm Unseasoned Cubed Stuffing and combine until stuffing cubes have absorbed the liquid. Bake covered for about 30 minutes and you’re done!
This Sausage and Mushroom Stuffing turned out wonderfully and disappeared so fast. My son even approved, and that says a LOT. I’m planning on serving it sometime during the holiday months—not just on Thanksgiving or Christmas! And while it’s certainly the perfect side dish for turkey, I’d like to try it with a pork tenderloin or pork chops too.

Oh my. I can see my husband eating this by the plate full. Some of his favorite things. I’ll have to make it for him. Looks oh so good.
This looks and sounds so good. The only change I will make is to add celery. Thanks so much!
I don’t have a go-to stuffing recipe–I keep trying new ones. I want to try Ted Allen’s recipe for chestnut stuffing: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ted-allen/chestnut-stuffing-recipe/index.html
I hear that chestnuts are a bugger to shell, but I still want to try!
Oh. My. YUM! All my favs for Thanksgiving in one dish, Love this Amy. xo

The dressing is my favorite part of Thanksgiving, I loooove that you added mushrooms.
Looks wonderful. This might be the one!
This looks yummy! There is a big stuffing vs dressing argument in our house. Stuffing goes IN the bird, dressing is cooked in a separate pan on the side. I am not a fan of the in the bird one (mushy and no crunch!) so I always make a small pan of dressing for me. This might be one I make JUST FOR ME this year!
This looks super yummy 🙂 I would like to know where I can get ground country sausage?
What I mean by ground country sausage is Jimmy Dean or Neese’s. It’s usually in the refrigerated section near the bacon.
How would you recommend I reheat any leftovers?
