Smoked Sausage And Apple Stuffing Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a shallow 3-quart baking dish. Cut or tear the bread into bite-size pieces. Divide between 2 rimmed baking sheets and spread into a single layer. Bake until slightly dry and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool completely.
• Meanwhile, cook the sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes Transfer the sausage to a plate using a slotted spoon. Add the cranberries, thyme, apple, onion, celery, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the drippings in the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and parsley and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and pour into a large bowl.
• Add the toasted bread to the onion mixture and toss until evenly moistened. Stir in the egg and cooked sausage. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and evenly spread without packing the stuffing down too much. Bake until the top is crusty, about 40 minutes. Drizzle the melted butter over the top and continue to bake until the top is crisp and golden, about 20 minutes more. Sprinkle the top with some chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Set aside.
• Make a layer of sliced apples in the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with a bit of the cinnamon. Layer half of the onion, then half of the sauerkraut over the apples. Place all of the sausage slices over the sauerkraut, reserving the drippings in the pan. Cover the sausage with the remaining sauerkraut, onion, and top with apple slices. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon over the top.
• Pour the heavy cream and brandy into the skillet with the sausage drippings. Place over medium heat, and stir to remove the bits of sausage flavor from the bottom. Pour over the sausage and apple casserole.
• Cover, and bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the broth, celery, onion and apples in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables and apples are tender.
• Add the sausage and stuffing and stir lightly to coat.

Steps:

• Slice smoked sausage into 1 inch coins, and place in a microwavable bowl with a lid.
• Add apples and onions.
• Sprinkle brown sugar over all. Add water. Cover.
• Microwave on high for about 5 mins or till apples are tender. (I use my fresh vegetable button for hard veggies).
• May season with salt and pepper if care to. We normally don't.
• Note: If you do not have a bowl with lid that will go into microwave, you may use plastic wrap, just be sure to vent it, by folding in one corner of wrap to make a little hole.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 24-cup mini-muffin pan with cooking spray.
• Arrange bread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until toasted and dry, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and place in a large bowl. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foamy, about 2 minutes. Add sausage; cook about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Add apple, onion, garlic, and sage; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apple and onion are slightly softened. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with bread.
• Add chicken stock, parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and eggs to bowl with bread mixture; toss gently until moistened. Divide mixture among muffin cups. Bake until set, about 20 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Use a small offset spatula to carefully remove from pans; serve warm.

Steps:
