Stuff Me.....Please?............



OK...I decided to forego the Oatmeal Cake recipe', for my world famous Sausage Stuffing Recipe'!.Regardless of what Alton Brown and the rest of those Food Channel twits say, Our family always enjoyed a stuffed turkey, and I can't recall any botulism killing off any family members. This is NOT an exact science people, It's COOKING, and it's FUN!!!!!

The night before Thanksgiving, cube or break-up 3 loaves of bread..Any bread will do, stale bread, wheat bread, raison bread, challah, Wonder Bread, marble rye, pumpernickel, you get the picture, just NOT moldy bread!!! When you are done, put it all in a large roaster, and put it in the oven overnight. The oven is SHUT-OFF of course.

The next day when you are ready to stuff your bird, assemble this........
6 stalks of celery
2 large onions
4 apples of any variety
2 pounds of Bob Evans Savory Sage Breakfast Sausage (any sausage will do).
Salt
Pepper
Sage..(Thyme or Rosemary work also)

In a frying pan, scramble the sausage.
In a separate pan, add one can of Turkey or Chicken broth and add your finely chopped onion and celery, cook for about 5 minutes after it comes to a boil, then shut it off and set aside.
Scramble the sausage till it is done, and without draining the drippings, add 1/2 cup of water to it. At this point take your pan of bread cubes, and dump both the veggie pan and the sausage pan into the bread, along with the peeled, cored, and sliced raw apples. Add salt, pepper, and sage to taste...Stuff your bird, and VOILA!!!!

One more thing!!! I saw this yesterday on the Food Channel, (Rachel Ray no less) and I am actually going to do this. With your leftover uncooked stuffing, instead of just putting it into a separate dish and baking it for an hour or so. Take a couple of muffin pans, and with your hands, make some stuffing balls about the size of a snowball, then drop each one into a muffin spot. Rachel called it, "Stuffin Muffin's", they get all crispy all over, and they seem to be the perfect serving size. 'How good is that?...Yummo!!!'

I'm starting to get very excited about Thanksgiving. It is an American Holiday that knows NO religious boundrys, and the house smells soooo fricken great all day long. And tonight when I pick up Mandy from school and bring her home, My whole family will be together for a Holiday for the first time in over a year!!! Thats something to be truely Thankful for!!!
Peace!!!

The older I get, the more I love Thanksgiving. It is more relaxing than Christmas. And it usually brings all of the family together. Looks like fun at your house, too, G-Man! xoxox

Serena said...

I usually like the stuffing better than I do the turkey, so I love the idea of those stuffin' muffins. Thanksgiving truly is a wonderful holiday with all the mouth-watering smells, kids home, and togetherness. Enjoy!

SignGurl said...

You just had to add Rachel Ray in there didn't you? Remind me to smack you next time I see you.

I'm so happy that your whole family will be together on Thursday. I know how much it means to you.

Save me some stuffing!

Hey there G-man its been awhile since I dropped by. Well it seems as if you are going to have a wonderful holiday with your family and that certainly is many reason to be thankful for. So Happy Thanksgiving. When you get a chance drop on by my blog I have some new posts up take care.

I am very excited to see your stuffing receipe. It is almost identical to the one I make - changing a few "brand names" around... and voila :) Love it - I shall try the stuffing balls too as I'm not a big leftover stuffing fan. Your receipes are the best!!!

Galen, I hope your holiday with your children and family is the best one ever. Have fun cooking... and eating LOL - I know I will.

javajazz said...

first of all, yummo, baby.
and thats sweet, pickin up your kid
and having the family together
for thanksgiving....i keep hoping
brian has somewhere nice to
go with his friends for thanksgiving.
one year he was all alone at the
university when the entire school
went home...i guess he was the only
canadian...he's already been home here
for ours so i hope he can sneak over
to a friends house and pretend
to be related for a few hours!
last year he had, get this,
deep fried turkey at one of
the teacher's homes....

love your recipes G.
its a cool idea.
i'm still doing this 9 to 5 boring thing.
hopefully i dont have to go anywhere
after work tonight so i'll be able
to be at home without having to
pick anyone up or go out or
whatever...sheesh! crazy days here!

Thank looks yummy. I will have to check that out when I return.

I hope you and the family have a wonderful Thanksgiving Sign. See you Monday.

barman said...

Oh and by the way, I said I thought my Hortons would be open before Thanksgiving. I was so close but they are not open yet. The signs are up, the lights on, the lines painted, the sign that says now hiring is down... they are so close.

Manny said...

I know you're in there cooking without me. I can smell the sausage.



Happy Thanksgiving G!
