How to Make The Best Fancy Florentine Sausage Stuffing Or Dressing

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the bread stuffing mix (or cubed bread), cooked sausage mixture, chicken broth, eggs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  6. Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish or a similar sized oven-safe dish.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. If the top starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
  8. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
