Janelle is back with the perfect recipe for us!!!

She says “Thanksgiving is right around the corner, my friends! What better recipe to share than one of my all-time beloved side dishes…STUFFING! This sought-after side dish can be prepared in many different ways…I’d like to share my favorite way of preparation! Feel free to omit the sausage if you prefer a “meat-less” stuffing!”

Stuffing bread, chicken broth, butter, Italian sausage, celery, onion, water, parsley, sage, thyme, (3 eggs- two of my children were eager and holding an egg a piece waiting to crack them, haha)

Dice onion and celery

Fry sausage and drain after fully cooked

In the same pan, add 1/4 cup of butter and sauté onions and celery

Meanwhile, start “prepping” the fresh herbs. Take the Thyme leaves off of the stems by gliding your knife down the stem like so.

Gather Sage and Parsley in a bunch and chop with knife, keep gathering and chopping until pieces are small (if you have never chopped fresh herbs, it may seem awkward, but it really is that simple)

Combine broth, 3 eggs, and water in a medium-sized bowl

In a large bowl, combine stuffing bread, herbs, sausage, and sautéed onions and celery. Add the egg mixture and stir well.

Place all ingredients into a prepared 9x 13 pan. Melt 1/4 cup of butter and pour over top of stuffing and sprinkle with pepper. Cover with foil and bake in a 350 oven for 25 mins, uncover and bake another 25 mins until lightly browned and cooked through.
