This hearty sausage and corn stuffing is the ultimate companion to a holiday crown roast. The dish combines the rich, savory depth of browned fresh pork sausage with the sweet pop of whole kernel corn and bright notes from fresh green onions and pimentos. The bread cubes absorb the flavorful sausage drippings, creating a moist, tender texture that isn’t dry or crumbly. It’s a classic American comfort food that balances spice and sweetness beautifully. While traditionally used to fill the center of a roast, this mixture is equally delicious baked in a casserole dish. ItâÂÂs a reliable, crowd-pleasing recipe that brings warmth and tradition to the dinner table, making it ideal for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any special family gathering.

Directions
-
Remove the pork sausage from its casing and crumble it into a medium saucepan.
-
Add the chopped green onions to the sausage in the saucepan.
-
Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the sausage is browned and cooked through.
-
Drain the excess fat from the pan, reserving exactly 1/4 cup of the sausage drippings.
-
If you do not have enough drippings, supplement with melted butter or margarine to reach 1/4 cup.
-
Return the reserved drippings to the pan and add the stuffing mix crumbs and 3/4 cup of water.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
-
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Stir in the drained whole-kernel corn and chopped pimentos.
-
Cover the saucepan and let the stuffing stand for 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
-
Fluff the stuffing with a fork before using it to stuff the crown roast or transferring it to a baking dish.
