This stuffing is the definition of savory comfort. The combination of three distinct bread types ensures a complex base, while the addition of Creole spices and a hint of our cranberry red jalapeño hot sauce transforms a classic holiday side into a deeply flavorful, everyday star.

The Best Skillet Sausage Stuffing

Ingredients

  • 4 cups sourdough bread, cubed

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter 

  • 1 teaspoon Creole Me Up Turkey Spice Blend

  • 1 tablespoon Extra-Virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup (approximately 1 large) yellow onions, diced 
  • 1 pound pork sausage (Scratch Meats, Maple Breakfast)
  • 1 cup (approximately 3 stalks) celery, diced 
  • 1 cup chicken broth 

  • 1 ½ teaspoons Cranberry Red Jalapeño Hot Sauce 

  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt 

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 

  • Garnish with fresh parsley or edible flowers

Directions

  1. Cube bread into ½ inch squares.

  2. On the stovetop, preheat your 12-inch cast-iron skillet on medium heat. Add the butter, once melted, and add the Creole Me Up spice blend to the melted butter. Stir for about 30 seconds to allow the spices to bloom. Add the breadcrumbs, and toast them until golden. Set asides.
  3. Add olive oil to the skillet. Add the diced onions and celery to the spiced butter and sauté for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent and soften.
  4. Add sausage, saute until browned, breaking up sausage witha wooden spoon.
  5. While the mixture is sautéing, in a separate mixing bowl, add chicken broth and Cranberry Red Jalapeno hot sauce. Whisk until combined.
  6. Once combined, add the breadcrumbs to the skillet, mix, add stock mixture, and gently fold the ingredients together to combine. Heat until warm and liquid is soaked up.
  7. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Garnish with edible flowers or parsley. Enjoy!
