Sundays with Nana – Traditional Thanksgiving Stuffing

Home, Recipes

Den and Lou (Dennis and Louise, my parents) are back from Florida for the holidays and we are BACK with Sundays with Nana for our second installment šŸ™‚ If you missed our first, we made a really yummy lasagna that took no time at all and would be perfect for busy weeknights and weekends!

Today, Lou came over to make a really simple and delicious stuffing you can make for Thanksgiving. The ingredients are super simple, and just a heads up if you’re watching your butter consumption, turn away. In the words of Lou, “It’s Thanksgiving for goodness sake! Don’t you think Ina Garten uses butter??” šŸ¤£

For this stuffing you will need:

Traditional Thanksgiving Stuffing

Ingredients

  • 1 bag of Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoning
  • 1 QT of chicken stock
  • 12 ounces pork sausage
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 stick of butter
  • 2 apples, “roughy chopped”
  • 1 onion, “roughly chopped”
  • 5 stalks of celery, “roughly chopped”

Steps

  • Cook your sausage in a sautĆ© pan like this or this with a tablespoon of butter. Once it’s nice and browned, add in your celery, onion and apples. You’re going to want that to cook down a lot, about 15 minutes of stirring around, adding a tablespoon of butter here and there, until it’s all gone šŸ™ˆ(Lou clearly doesn’t have a problem adding butter, but I must admit, it makes it SOOOOO good).
  • Once everything is cooked down, you’re going to want to add about 1/2 cup of chicken stock and let that absorb in.
  • Add 8 ounces (about 1/2 the bag of stuffing) and stir that around until all bread is wet.
  • Once everything is absorbed and looking delicious, add the stuffing to a casserole dish (spray it first with a baking spray) and bake for about 25 minutes, uncovered, at 350.
