Ingredients

  • 1 (16 oz) roll sausage use sweet, mild, hot, sage, etc.
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons dried ground sage
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste, if desired
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup pecans roughly chopped
  • 2 (6 oz) boxes stuffing mix we used Stove Top Stuffing Mix for Turkey
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 large eggs beaten

Instructions

  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Place sausage, onion, celery, garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme, salt and pepper into a large non-stick pan and cook, breaking up the sausage as you go, until the sausage is cooked through and the veggies are cooked to your liking.
  • Pour sausage mixture into a large mixing bowl and mix together with cranberries, pecans, stuffing mix, broth, butter, and eggs until combined.
  • Spread evenly into the prepared baking dish, then preheat oven to 350 degrees F (this allows time for the stuffing to soak up some of the moisture).
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the interior is hot and the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
  • Serve and enjoy!
