Maple Sausage Sage Stuffing 

This stuffing is delicious year round! Sweet, savory, soft, gooey, crispy... I really could go on. Instead I will leave it to you to try out. I used my Jamaican Coco Bread recipe for this one but by all means utilize your bread of preference. Enjoy.

Ingredients:

1ea Loaf of Bread or 8c (cubed, and toasted)

1-1/2c Maple Sage Sausage Grounds  (gf vegan breakfast sausage)

1/2c Carrots (small dice)

1/2c Onion (small dice)

1/2c Celery (small dice)

1/2t Garlic Powder

1-1/2T Sage (rubbed or ground, divided)

1-1/2 T Vegetable Bouillon (divided)

1-3/4c Water

2T Canola oil (your preferred cooking oil)

Salt tt (be careful, the bouillon is very salty and you will most likely not need any additional salt)

Preheat oven 350F

Heat oil in a medium to large sauté pan, on medium high heat. Once oil becomes hot, add mirepoix (carrots, onion, and celery). Saute until vegetables begin to soften and caramelize. Add 1 T of sage, 1 T of bouillon, and garlic. Sauté approximately one minute, allowing  the flavors of the spices and vegetables to come together.  Transfer into a large bowl.

Add cubed bread and mix. Pour mixture into baking dish.

Return sauté pan to the heat. Add water, remaining 1/2 T of bouillon, and remaining 1/2 T of sage. Bring to a soft boil and turn of heat. Pour liquid over cubed bread and veggies. Allow to sit 5-10 minutes so the bread fully absorbs and distributes liquid.

Bake at 350 for approximately 25-30 minutes. Serve.
