How to Make Andouille Sausage And Corn Bread Stuffing

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of Andouille sausage, crumbled. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a fork, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped; 2 celery stalks, chopped; and 1 red bell pepper, chopped.
  4. Cover and cook until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, about 12-15 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or to taste), and 1 teaspoon dried sage.
  6. Transfer the sausage mixture to a large bowl.
  7. Add 2 cups of cornbread stuffing mix (such as Jiffy) to the sausage mixture.
  8. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Generously butter a 13x9x2-inch glass or ceramic baking dish.
  11. Gradually add 1-1.5 cups of chicken broth to the stuffing mixture, stirring until moist but not soggy.
  12. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish.
  13. Cover with buttered foil, buttered side down.
  14. Bake for 30 minutes, covered.
  15. Uncover and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
