How to Make this Stuffing from a Box
- Step 1: In a large skillet, heat a bit of olive oil and cook the pork sausage until browned. Transfer to a separate bowl.
- Step 2: Add butter to the same skillet, along with carrots, celery, and onion. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant.

Recipe Tips
- You can also use vegetable broth instead of chicken stock, though you may want to add some extra seasonings if the flavor isn’t as strong.
- Add another 1/2 cup of broth for a more moist stuffing.
- I usually go for the fresh herbs flavor of stuffing, but feel free to use what you and your family like.
- If you have leftover stuffing, transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
- You can also assemble your stuffing the night before and store covered in the fridge. Add more broth to the stuffing before baking if it seems too dry.
