    Sausage stuffing recipes

    One of my favorite ways to make stuffing with sausage or smoked brats cooked with turkey blend Traeger pellets is to pile on the herbs and make it a super savory dish.

    Chorizo sausage stuffing

    Chorizo sausage stuffing.

    Check out this chorizo sausage stuffing recipe that’s baked in the oven to golden brown perfection right here on Sip Bite Go.

    Chinese sausage stuffing

    Chinese Sausage Stuffing.

    This stuffing recipe uses Chinese Sausage, a unique dried pork sausage that

    is both sweet and salty. It adds the perfect texture, flavor and color to

    this savory stuffing recipe and is suitable for a weeknight meal or holiday

    Dinner. See how to make Chinese Sausage Stuffing and Herb Stuffing from Savory Experiments.

    Cornbread stuffing recipes

    Cornbread Stuffing with Chorizo

    Cornbread Stuffing with Chorizo.

    This is a spin between a cornbread stuffing recipe and a sausage stuffing dish. Its packed with ​​cubed cornbread instead of regular bread and has hints of spice from the jalapenos. See the recipe for Cornbread Stuffing with Chorizo from Spiceology. Drizzle this jalapeno ranch dressing on it for a tasty touch.

    This plant-based stuffing is a twist on a holiday staple! A hint of granny smith apples adds the perfect amount of tartness in this savory dish made with sourdough baguettes or French bread. Get the recipe for apple stuffing from Plant Based On A Budget.

    Instant Pot Stuffing Recipes

    Simple Instant Pot Stuffing

    Did you know you can make a stuffing in the Instant Pot, instead of baking it in the oven? Stuff it with your favorite fruits (like apple and cranberries), and load it up with sausage or chorizo for a spicy touch. Recipe coming soon.

    Crockpot stuffing recipes

    Slow Cooked Southern Cornbread Stuffing in the Crock Pot

    slow cooker southern cornbread stuffing.

    This easy slow cooker southern cornbread stuffing from Restless Chipotle is light and fluffy every time. It’s completely made in the crockpot so your valuable oven space is freed up for the most important things… like little apple handpies!

    Slow Cooker Quick Dump Stuffing

    slow cooker dump stuffing.

    This delicious stuffing recipe is perfect for a quick dump and go stuffing where everything is loaded into the slow cooker and then you can forget about it. You can also turn off your slow cooker once it is cooked and it will stay warm for 3 hours making it perfect for a make ahead side. See the recipe for slow cooker dump stuffing from Recipe This.

    Air Fryer Stuffing Recipes

    Unique stuffing recipes

    Herb Wreath Stuffing

    Herb Wreath Stuffing.

    Herb Wreath Stuffing takes a fairly traditional stuffing recipe that uses

    fresh herbs and makes it into a lovely centerpiece for any table. Buttery,

    rich and delicious, serve it by the slice just like cake! See how to make Herb Wreath Stuffing from Savory Experiments.

    Mushroom Stuffing Recipe

    This recipe is packed with unami from all the tasty, rich mushrooms. See how to make this Mushroom Stuffing from Spoonabilities.

    What do you add to store bought stuffing?

    If you’re looking for more inspiration for your boxed stuffing, I have you covered. Here are some more tasty things to add to store bought stuffing…

    • As some crunch with toasted pine nuts or toasted walnuts or pecans.
    • Sous vide bacon or turkey bacon crumbles.
    • Add fruits like dried cranberries, cherries, apples or pears.
    • Add meat with sausage or ground beef.

    FAQs

    Is stuffing better with or without eggs?

    Eggs are an optional ingredient and not included in every recipe, but they will give you a fluffier stuffing and help bind all the ingredients together. If your recipe doesn’t call for eggs it will include another liquid ingredient to bind the  bread cubes.

    What is the difference between stuffing and dressing?

    The words stuffing and dressing are used interchangeably, but technically the dish is stuffing when it is cooked inside the bird, and dressing if it is cooked alongside.

    Can I freeze uncooked stuffing?

    You can! If you love simplifying your life with meal prep as much as I do, just combine all your ingredients and freeze them in a zip-loc bag or shallow freezer container. When you’re ready to cook, you’ll want to stick the frozen stuffing straight into the oven– no defrost required!

    What can I serve with stuffing?

    All the holiday menu favorites, like you’ll find at the end of this post, are good options. I like to serve stuffing with sous vide turkey breast or my air fryer turkey breast but it’s delicious with any poultry meal. If it’s for a holiday other than Thanksgiving, I might serve it with this sous vide whole chicken or sous vide prime rib instead.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
