Sausage & Apple Herbed Stuffing

(Pampered Chef)

Ingredients:

1/2  lb bulk pork sausage

1/2  cup (1 stick) butter or margarine

1 1/2  cups sliced celery

1 1/2  cups chopped onion

1  package (14 ounces) herb seasoned cubed stuffing

1/2  cup sweetened dried cranberries

1/2  cup coarsely chopped apples

1  tbsp Rosemary Herb Seasoning Mix

2  cans (14.5 oz each) chicken broth

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place sausage into (10-in.) Skillet; cook over medium heat 3-5 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles. Remove Skillet from heat and transfer sausage to paper towel-lined plate. (Do not drain Skillet.) 

2.  Add butter to Skillet; heat over medium heat 1-3 minutes or until foamy. Add celery and onion; cook and stir 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. 

3.  In Stainless (6-qt.) Mixing Bowl, combine stuffing, cranberries, apples, seasoning mix 
and sausage. Add vegetable mixture and broth; toss until moistened. 

4.  Spoon stuffing into Deep Covered Baker. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Carefully remove lid using Oven Mitts, lifting away from you; bake an additional 30 minutes or until stuffing is golden brown and heated through.
