GLUTEN FREE SKILLET STUFFING

Gluten Free Skillet Stuffing

5 from 3 reviews

My semi home-made gluten free skillet stuffing will be the hit this Holiday season. This stuffing is bursting with flavor, is moist, and is such a classic side dish. My stuffing is made using a large cast iron skillet and one stock pot. That’s all you need for this perfect recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • lery Stalks Finely Chopped
  • 1 Medium Onion Finely Chopped
  • 3 Carrots Finely Chopped
  • 1 32 Ounce Container Chicken Stock
  • 6 Sprigs Fresh Sage
  • 116 Ounce Package Ground Pork
  • 2 Boxes Aleia’s Savory Stuffing
  • Full Stick of Unsalted Butter
  • 25 Ounce Bag of Dried Cranberries

Instructions

  • Finely chop the carrots, celery and onion.
  • Using a large and deep cast iron skillet, turn the stove to medium heat. Once the pan has warmed up, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and add the carrots, celery and onion. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Sautee for about 5-8 minutes or until soft.
  • Once done, remove the veggies and set aside in a dish.
  • On medium heat, add the ground pork sausage, break into small pieces with your wooden spoon, and brown till done. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Using a large stock pot, add the stock and bring to a boil. Once it has boiled, add the whole stick of butter, turn the heat off, and let it melt. Add the seasoning packet and then remove the pan from the heat.
  • Place the stuffing in large bowl and pour the stock over it. Toss with veggies until everything is combined. Now add the dried cranberries.
  • Add the stuffing to the sausage which should still be in your cast iron skillet.
  • Add the chopped sage to the top.
  • Cover and put in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the foil for about 10 minutes. You want to create a golden brown surface and a slightly crisp texture on top.
  • If you decide to not use a skillet, then grease an oven safe casserole dish and add the stuffing mixture and bake for the same time.

Notes

  • If you are not a big fan of cranberries, you can leave out or just use 1 5 ounce bag.  The cranberries really do add a great texture to this dish.
  • The stuffing can take anywhere from 30-40 minutes to cook depending on your oven.  If your oven is slow, cook at 350 for 25-30 minutes then remove foil the 5-10 minutes until the top is slightly golden and crunchy.
  • To reheat: place in the oven at 300 degrees F until done.  This could take anywhere from 30 minutes or longer depending how cold it is.
  • Cover well with foil and let cool before placing in the fridge.
