Swanson Broth and The Great Stuffing Debate {$150 Visa Gift Card Giveaway}

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my Disclosure and Privacy Policy.

The Great Stuffing Debate is definitely one that gets noticed at my Thanksgiving table. Everyone has their idea of what makes a stuffing fabulous and with as many variations available, it is easy to see why it is so difficult to agree. For this reason my mother makes two entirely types of stuffing for our Thanksgiving meal. One more traditional that is fairly basic and another sausage and mushroom stuffing that is the favorite of my husband and I. I know I’m lucky to get my favorite stuffing each year, even though I’m not the cook for our yearly feast.

Last night I made my own feast, featuring my very favorite stuffing so I can share with all of you!

Sausage and Mushroom Stuffing

INGREDIENTS:

  • 12 oz bulk pork sausage (we love sage)
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1- 1/2 cups fresh mushrooms  (or 2 small/1 large can of sliced mushrooms)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups Pepperidge Farm herb seasoned stuffing mix
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup Swanson chicken broth

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cook sausage until no longer pink on medium high heat. Drain and place in medium mixing bowl. Heat oil in large skillet.

Add onion, celery and garlic and cook over medium heat until celery is tender crisp, stirring often.

Add mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary and pepper. Cook stirring constantly 1 minute. Add to sausage and mix well.

Stir in stuffing mix and slightly beaten egg.

Add 1/2 cup Swanson chicken broth and stir into stuffing.

Add to 1.5 quart casserole dish (can substitute 2 quart) and bake for 15 minutes with cover on. Remove cover and bake an additional 15-20 minutes. (You can keep the cover on the entire time if you prefer a softer stuffing.)

The entire menu consisted of pork loin, the amazing sausage mushroom stuffing featuring Swanson broth, baby red potatoes, steamed broccoli, unsweetened applesauce and rolls. It made quite a spread for a regular Monday night!

For dessert I made Ginger Snap Pumpkin Pudding which was a perfect finish to a wonderful meal. You can find the recipe with instructions n my baking blog, Oh My! Sugar High.

  1. What makes my fave stuffing is it’s my great grandmothers recipe. She always made the best, luckily she passed it on to my grandmother when she passed away. It definitely is a true southern stuffing! No celery or mushrooms….:)
