To-Die-For Stuffing
Ingredients:
1 dense dark rye loaf, cut into 1-inch cubes, dried in a 200°F oven
1 dense light rye loaf, cut into 1-inch cubes, dried in a 200°F oven (look for good bakery or Whole Foods loaves)
1 lb thick-cut bacon, chopped and browned (save the fat)
1 lb mild Italian bulk sausage, cooked
8 eggs, lightly beaten
2 large onions, chopped
8+ garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp rosemary
2 tbsp sage
1 tbsp thyme leaves
2 quarts rich chicken or turkey stock
Directions:
Cook the sausage, break it into chunks, and remove to a bowl.
Brown the bacon in the sausage fat, then remove it to the same bowl.
Add a few tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and sauté onions, garlic, rosemary, and sage until golden and soft.
In a large bowl (a turkey roasting pan works great), combine the bread cubes and eggs.
Add the onion mixture, thyme, meats, and enough stock (start with 1 quart) to get the texture you recognize as “stuffing.”
Mix it by hand — it’s the only way to get it...
