Stovetop Sausage Stuffing is the best stuffing recipe for the holidays! It's made on the stove, so you don't have to worry about it taking up room in your oven. The browned sausage adds so much flavor and you won't believe that there are only FIVE ingredients in this easy stovetop sausage stuffing recipe!
Brown sausage in large stove top pan until fully cooked. Remove sausage from pan and place in separate bowl. Do not drain grease.
Add onions and celery to frying pan and sauté for 3-5 minutes, using a wooden spoon to stir frequently so they do not burn.
Add sausage back to pan. Then pour in stuffing mix and carefully mix to combine. (You can also do this in a large bowl if your pan isn't big enough).
Add chicken broth about ½ cup at at time, pouring it over the whole mixture.
Let simmer until broth runs out. Repeat adding in broth. Do not need to stir the stuffing.

Notes
CAN STOVETOP STUFFING BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?
Yes, make this stovetop sausage stuffing recipe the day before and then reheat in the oven before serving your holiday dinner!
CAN YOU FREEZE STOVETOP STUFFING?
Yes. Freezing leftover stuffing is a great way to have it ready for the next holiday, too! Stuffing can be frozen for up to two months, so save your leftover Thanksgiving stuffing and use it for your Christmas dinner. To freeze, place in a freezer safe container after sausage has cooled to room temperature.
CAN STOVETOP STUFFING BE BAKED IN THE OVEN?
Because the broth needs to be added slowly and not all at once, it really does need to be made on the stovetop instead of baking in the oven. If you cannot make it on the stovetop on the day of, make it the day before and it can be reheated in the oven.
