Easy Vegan Stuffing Recipe
I love stuffing year-round and enjoy it just as much as a main course as a side dish. I mean, it’s bread for dinner. What’s not to love? #ieatcarbs
I like this recipe because it’s quick and easy to make with just a handful of simple ingredients. Stuffing is one also of those perfect side dishes for the Thanksgiving or Christmas table. It’s a family favorite, kind of like mashed potatoes; you really can’t go wrong with either.
Ingredients for Vegan Sausage Stuffing
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
- 1/2 pound plant-based sausage
- 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 6-ounce package dry bread stuffing mix
- 1 1/2 cups water
Ingredient Notes
- Vegan Butter – Olive oil also works fine.
- Plant-Based Sausage – I use 2 links of Beyond Sausage (Beyond Meat) brand of vegan sausage in Hot Italian flavor.
- Dry Bread Stuffing Mix – A blend of sourdough bread cubes with savory herbs such as sage or thyme pairs well with the flavors of Italian sausage. Field Roast makes a sage sausage.
- Water – For adding a little extra flavor, try veggie broth or vegan chicken-style broth.
How to make Vegan Sausage Stuffing
STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
STEP TWO: Set a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When butter is melted, crumble in the plant-based sausage, using a spatula to break up any large chunks.
STEP THREE: Add celery and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, until sausage is browned and vegetables are softened.
STEP FOUR: Add stuffing mix and water. Gently stir to combine with the sausage mixture and ensure all the stuffing mix is damp. Remove from heat.
STEP FIVE: Pour the stuffing mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes, until the stuffing is golden brown. Serve hot.
Storage
- This stuffing is just as good the next day! Leftovers should be brought to room temperature and then stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
