Ingredients
  • 1 package Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage
  • 1 lb day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup onions, chopped
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1/3 cup margarine, melted
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 325ðF (165ðC). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. 2
    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the margarine. Add the chopped onions and celery, and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. 3
    Add the sage sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease if desired.
  4. 4
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes, chicken broth, beaten eggs, and poultry seasoning. Toss gently until the bread is evenly moistened.
  5. 5
    Add the sausage and vegetable mixture to the bread bowl. Stir gently until everything is well combined.
  6. 6
    Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press down lightly to compact the dressing.
  7. 7
    Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 165ðF (74ðC).
  8. 8
    Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Note

For a crispier top, remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.

You can substitute butter for the margarine for a richer flavor.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

If the bread is very dry, you may need an additional 1/4 cup of broth. If it seems too wet, reduce the broth slightly.
