Instructions

Start by drying out the bread in the oven. Cut or tear bread into 1-inch cubes and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes, let cool, then place in a large mixing bowl.

Meanwhile, warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery and sauté until softened. Transfer to the bowl with bread.

Add sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Once cooked, drain excess grease, and add cooked sausage to the bowl with the bread and vegetable mixture.

Give everything a big stir then slowly stir in the broth. Depending on your bread, you may need to use a little less or a little extra broth. The stuffing should be slightly soggy before baking. If it looks and feels dry, add more broth.

Coat a 9x9 baking dish or casserole dish of similar size with cooking spray. Pour the stuffing mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Bake covered at 350F for 30 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve warm.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Bread Cubes First 🍞
Lightly toast bread cubes in a 300°F oven for 10-15 minutes before adding liquid to prevent a soggy casserole and achieve that perfect crispy-on-top, tender-inside texture.
Brown the Sausage Thoroughly 🥓
Cook sausage until deeply browned and rendered, breaking it into small pieces—this builds rich flavor and allows fat to infuse the entire dish naturally without butter.
Bloom Fresh Herbs in Oil 🌿
Toast fresh thyme, sage, and rosemary briefly in olive oil with the aromatics before adding bread—this technique releases essential oils and intensifies herbaceous flavors throughout.
Layer Bread Strategically 📚
Reserve the largest bread cubes for the top layer and smaller pieces for the bottom to create textural contrast and ensure even moisture absorption from the broth.
Let it Rest Before Serving ⏱️
Allow the casserole to rest for 10-15 minutes after baking so the structure sets and flavors meld, making it easier to portion and more flavorful.
