Chestnut Sausage Stuffing
I discovered this recipe in a four-generation family cookbook. I'm glad I gave it a try. It has become "the" stuffing at our holiday table.
8-10 ServingsPrep: 30 min. Bake: 40 min.

  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 2 cups finely chopped fresh mushrooms
  • 1-1/2 cups finely chopped onion
  • 2 celery ribs, chopped
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 4 cups day-old bread cubes
  • 1 package (8-3/4 ounces) whole chestnuts, chopped (about 2 cups)

Directions

  • In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until no longer
  • pink; drain and set aside. In the same skillet, saute the mushrooms,
  • onions and celery in butter until tender. Stir in the sausage,

  • heat. Add bread cubes and chestnuts; toss to coat.
