Sage Sausage and Cider Stuffing Recipe

Ingredients

½ pound bulk sage-flavored pork sausage

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ cup chopped celery

¼ cup chopped onion

2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage

1 Golden Delicious apple - peeled

cored

and diced

2 teaspoons chicken soup base

½ cup water

¾ cup apple cider

½ loaf Italian bread

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the sausage in the skillet until crumbly evenly browned and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease; set the sausage aside in a mixing bowl. Melt the butter and olive oil in the skillet over medium heat; stir in the celery and onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir the cooked sausage into the onions along with the sage and apples. Continue cooking until the apples are just turning soft about 5 minutes more. Whisk the chicken soup base and water together in a bowl until dissolved. Add the apple cider; stir in the sausage mixture along with the bread cubes until the bread is moist. Pack the stuffing into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until lightly browned and the edges are crisp about 30 minutes.
