Sausage Stuffing

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 3 -On a large, rimmed baking sheet, add the bread cubes and spread them out evenly.

Step 4 -Bake the bread cubes for 10 minutes.

Step 5 -Toss the bread cubes and bake until they are firm like croutons, about 10 minutes.

Step 6 -In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.

Step 7 -Add the sausage, the onions, and the celery to the melted butter and cook, while crumbling the meat, until it is no longer pink, about 10 minutes.

Step 8 -In a large bowl, add the bread cubes, the sausage mixture, and any drippings from the skillet and toss to combine.

Step 9 -In the same skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining butter.

Step 10 -Scrape the sides and the bottom of the skillet to release the browned bits.

Step 11 -Add the garlic, the dried parsley, the rosemary, the thyme, the sage, and the pepper to the melted butter and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Step 12 -Drizzle the herb butter mixture over the sausage-bread mixture and toss to coat.

Step 13 -Transfer the bread mixture to the prepared casserole dish.

Step 14 -In a bowl, add the eggs and the chicken broth and whisk to combine.

Step 15 -Pour 1/2 of the egg-chicken broth mixture evenly over the stuffing and toss to coat.

Step 16 -Add more of the chicken broth mixture, a little at a time, to the stuffing and toss to coat until the breading is moist, but not too wet. You may not need all of the remaining egg-chicken broth mixture.

Step 17 -Cover the casserole dish and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 18 -Uncover and bake until the top is browned and the stuffing mixture is firm, about 35 minutes.

Step 19 -Serve garnished with the fresh parsley.
