My Dad makes an amazing stuffing with mushrooms, sausage, and bacon every year, filled with all sorts of goodies, including oysters, wild rice, caramelized mushrooms, bacon, and sausage, to name a few. I adapted my Dad’s stuffing by using a stuffing mix and just added some mushrooms, bacon, sausage, onions, celery, and chestnuts. This tasty stuffing was moist and delicious with a ton of great flavors and textures, and we all enjoyed it. This easy stuffing recipe paired nicely with a roasted turkey, creamy mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, bacon Boursin green beans, dinner rolls, and cranberry jelly.

How to Make Stuffing with Mushrooms, Sausage, and Bacon

Cook the sausage and bacon separately in a large skillet until cooked & crisp.

Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the pan and add the onions, celery, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a large baking dish with cooking spray.

Combine the seasoning packet (included with the stuffing mix) with the broth and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a low boil for 3-5 minutes.

Place croutons in a large bowl along with onion, celery, mushroom mixture, bacon, sausage, and chestnuts.

Combine the well-beaten egg with the chicken broth.

Pour the liquid over the mixture and toss lightly until evenly coated.

Spoon the filling into the baking dish.

Cover and bake for 45 minutes.

Remove the cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes to crisp the top.

Fluff and serve. Enjoy.
