Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 stalks celery, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 pound ground Italian sausage
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 cups day-old bread, cubed
• 2.5 cups chicken broth
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté for 5 minutes or until they begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for an additional 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the ground Italian sausage to the empty side. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully browned, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 6

Mix the sausage with the vegetables in the skillet and stir in the thyme, sage, salt, and black pepper. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread and the sausage mixture, tossing to coat evenly.

Step 8

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and beaten eggs. Pour this mixture over the stuffing ingredients and gently toss until the bread is moistened but not soggy.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover the dish with foil.

Step 10

Bake the stuffing, covered, for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 11

Remove the stuffing from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley and serving.
