By cmsaba

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb bulk pork sausage
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
• 1 1/2 cups sliced celery
• 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
• 1 package (14 ounces) herb-seasoned cubed stuffing
• 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped apples
• 1 tbsp Rosemary Herb Seasoning Mix
• 2 cans (14.5 oz each) chicken broth

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place sausage into (10-in.) Skillet; cook over medium heat 3-5 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles. Remove Skillet from heat and transfer sausage to paper towel-lined plate. (Do not drain Skillet.)
Add butter to Skillet; heat over medium heat 1-3 minutes or until foamy. Add celery and onion; cook and stir 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
In Stainless (6-qt.) Mixing Bowl, combine stuffing, cranberries, apples, seasoning mix and sausage. Add vegetable mixture and broth; toss until moistened.
Spoon stuffing into Deep Covered Baker. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Carefully remove lid using Oven Mitts, lifting away from you; bake an additional 30 minutes or until stuffing is golden brown and heated through.
