Ingredients

1 medium carrot, peeled and rough chopped
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1/2 bunch fresh sage
1 1/2 pounds loose sweet Italian sausage
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cups cubed sourdough bread, crusts removed
1 pound roasted chestnuts
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large egg

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 9 by 11-inch baking dish.

In a food processor puree the carrot, onion, celery and sage until you have a fine pulp. Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the sausage in a little olive oil. Once you have a nice brown color and the fat has rendered - about 5 minutes, use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the vegetable pulp to the pan and saute until most of the moisture has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper. Add to the mixing bowl with the sausage and also add the bread crumbs and chestnuts.

Mix together chicken stock, cream and egg. Pour this wet mixture over the dressing mix. Season and fold everything together. Pour out into the roasting dish and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown on the top (if it gets too brown before the 30 minutes is up, tent with foil).

Great "bread" dressing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I grew up eating Meat Dressing (recipe from French Canadian great grandparents) All meat, ground beef, sausage, spices,... onion, a small amount of mashed potato to bind. I wouldn't even try bread dressing until last year when I made this recipe... LOVE it! Making it again this year.Read more

Awesome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made it without the chestnuts, because they were more expensive than I had budgeted for, it was still fantastic. Next time... I would scale back the sausage to just one pound. My fiance is still raving about this recipe. A holiday tradition has begun. Read more

Freezer-Friendly too!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This dressing was really good. We used our own sourdough bread, along with a pound of homemade Italian sausage. The only... thing I might do differently in the future would be to chop the chestnuts a little smaller - there was no guidance in the recipe as to how large or small to leave them. We divided the dressing into 3 pans before baking - then baked one and froze the other two before baking. It was even better after having been frozen and thawed! I'll definitely make this again! Thanks.Read more

I wanted to try this recipe for Christmas, but couldn't find the recipe. I am so glad I found it, I am going to give it a go... for New Years. I think I might leave out the chestnuts, did anyone try it without the chestnuts and if so did you like it? thanks.Read more

This dressing has replaced the box crap for GOOD!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I usually make stuffing from a box becuase my kids are picky eaters. But, when I say Tyler make this recipe, I had to give... it a try for Thanksgiving However, I don't like roasting, cracking or eating chestnuts. So I simple substituted the chestnuts with Macadamia nuts. It was the best dressing! My kids chowed down on it, they had it gone before anyone else could get seconds. They have been begging me to make it, so it's going to be served for Christmas dinner; however, I'm going to try almonds this time. Read more

It was very very good. Okay, hubby wasn't thrilled, but then he likes Stovetop...Everyone else had seconds. I was surprised... to find chestnuts locally at both Publix and Walmart (I live just south of Nashville)Read more
