To make this sausage stuffing, I dressed up a package of stuffing mix with pork sausage, mushrooms, celery and onion. It impressed my in-laws at a family gathering and has since become a popular side dish with my husband and children. —Jennifer Lynn Cullen, Taylor, Michigan
In a large skillet, cook the sausage, celery, onion and mushrooms over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer; drain. Stir in broth and sage.
Bring to a boil. Stir in stuffing mix. Cover and remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Test Kitchen Tips
Dried herbs have their place in plenty of recipes, but stuffing isn’t one of them. Try a combination of fresh parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Homemade croutons will really make your stuffing shine. Any loaf of bread will work, favorites are country loaf, sourdough, brioche or rye loaf. Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and toss them into a 300°F oven until they’re dry and crisp, about 45 minutes. Get more tips for best-ever stuffing.

This is So good and so easy to make. It was a huge hit. Thank goodness I doubled the recipe. It's very flavorful. I made my own bread cubes using sourdough bread. i will definitely make this again.

I love this dish! Favorite way to serve? With a poached egg or two on top of a big mound of it!

Loved this though added another box of Stove Top Stuffing only because mine came out a bit too wet. I think I cooked the sausage/onion/celery mix too long and didn't add mushrooms since my husband isn't fond of them. Well, that was a little too much stuffing, so I'll cut back on the liquid next time. This flavor though is out-of-this-world. Used bulk Italian sausage.

Do you use plain packaged stuffing or stove top turkey stuffing ?

I actually made this for Thanksgiving instead of stuffing the turkey, but used the hot pork sausage. I made it ahead of time and put it in the crockpot. Everyone loved it. Will definitely do this again.

My husband and I were alone for Thanksgiving so I used this recipe. We thought it was great! I only used 1/2# sausage and it was plenty. I think a pound would have been too much. I've already emailed it to my 4 sisters and I will make it again.

It was excellent, so thanks Jennifer Lynn! I have often used a boxed stuffing mix and added 'goodies' to it when I was in a hurry. It always turned out great, and everyone loved it. Thank goodness for the 'shortcuts' which are available to us today. We loved this stuffing!
