National Stuffing Day - With a Twist

Who doesn't love stuffing?
We all have had those moments when a flashy commercial or display advertises quick and easy 10 minute food. Pretty much anyone would go for the 10 minute meal over the homemade version. Not only can homemade stuffing be healthier, it can be more tasty compared to the preservative packed stuff.

  This is Chef Alex's go-to stuffing recipe when he's trying to impress a crowd; and it only takes an hour. Get together some basic ingredients, and let's get cooking!




Servings: 10        Time: 50 minutes


-1.5lbs bread loaf of your choice, cut into pieces, and dried in 350F oven for 15 minutes
-2 peeled apples, diced
-1 yellow onion, thinly diced
-1 package of Polish sausage
-2.5C of chicken or veggie broth
-1/2C dried cranberries
-3 eggs
-2TBS of butter




   Start by heating up a large skillet and add the butter, letting it melt and brown a bit. Slice the sausage to about the width of a quarter. Place diced onion, apple, and sausage into pan. When onion begins to brown, turn the heat off and begin drying your bread in a 350F oven for about 15 minutes, or until it is crunchy. Stir in cranberries into your sauté mixture. Place dried bread into an oven safe deep pan that has been lightly buttered and stir in the sauté mixture with the bread. Add 3 beaten eggs into your mixture. Place uncovered in a 350F oven for about 30 minutes.
