Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 celery stalks, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 10 cups cubed day-old bread (about 1 loaf)
- 2 ½ cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the onion and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper, cooking for an additional minute.
