Skillet Sausage Stuffing
This week I made skillet sausage stuffing from the tasteofhome 2012 Contest Winning Annual Recipes cookbook.
( recipe )
Thoughts and Variations
I couldn't find bulk pork sausage, so I bought a pack of uncooked "sweet Italian sausage" and simply cut the casings off then chopped the meat and used that. I used dried sage instead of rubbed sage because that's all I could find. I used one 5oz bag of Seasoned Multigrain croutons and a handful of Butter and Sea Salt flavoured Ciabatta croutons because all of my local stuffing mixes had dried meat bits in them and I found that idea kind of disgusting.
This was an okay dish. The croutons worked alright, since they did absorb most of the liquid, but I'm wondering if it would have been better with actual stuffing mix. Also, I have been reminded of the fact that I don't like soggy bread, so I probably won't make this again since stuffing is not my jam (and I forgot that before making this). It was a valuable learning experience though and an interesting experiment, so it wasn't a total loss.
