Literally the best stuffing recipe ever! This stuffing with sausage and classic herbs is so easy, hearty, and delicious! One of our favorite make ahead Thanksgiving side dishes.
Butter a 9x13 casserole dish. Brown sausage in large stock pot and break up into crumbles and set aside on a plate.
In the same pot add butter, onions and celery on medium high heat and sauce until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Turn heat to medium low and add chicken broth, seasoning, and stir until well mixed.
Remove from heat and add sausage back to pan and stir until mixed. Add stuffing and GENTLY fold into broth mixture. Add more stuffing 1 cup at a time until your desired consistency is achieved.
You don't want too much liquid or it will be mushy. You basically want just enough liquid to moisten stuffing crumbs. Be careful to not over mix as that could also make stuffing mushy. If stuffing seems dry, add a small amount of broth a little at a time.
Put stuffing into your buttered casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees uncovered until heated through and top is just becoming crunchy (about 20 minutes depending on your oven).

Notes
I like to use Mrs. Cubbisons Herb Seasoned Stuffing Cubes for this recipe. Each box has 10 oz. or about 6 cups of stuffing cubes, so you will need two boxes in order to make this recipe. (We use 10 cups total.)Make Ahead Thanksgiving StuffingThis stuffing recipe can be made a day ahead and kept covered in the fridge until ready to bake. Plan on cooking an extra 25-30 minutes if putting into the oven straight from the fridge.
