Ingredients
- 1 pound loaf day old bread cubed into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 cup chicken broth or chicken stock
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/3 cup butter use unsalted butter
- 1 cup onions diced
- 1 cup celery chopped
- 1 (16 oz) package bulk sage sausage
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- Pinch fresh rosemary chopped
Instructions
- Pre-heat 12-inch camp Dutch oven to 325 F degrees (for a 12 inch Dutch oven you need 23 coals total = 16 Top/7 Bottom).
- Combine in a large mixing bowl: bread, poultry seasoning, chicken broth and eggs.
- Melt the butter in the Dutch oven.
- Sauté the onions and celery until the vegetables are soft.
- Add and lightly brown the sausage, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Add the garlic and rosemary to the pot and stir to incorporate.
- Add the bread mixture to the Dutch oven and stir to completely combine all the stuffing mixture ingredients.
- Cover with the lid and bake at 325 degrees F for approximately 20 minutes. Occasionally stir the mixture throughout the cooking process. Because this dressing is being cooked directly in the Dutch oven (and not in a separate baking dish) it will get crispier (which our family loves) but it will also have a tendency to burn so keep stirring to avoid that.
Notes
Camp Cooking Tip: Thanksgiving dinner clean-up at the campsite can be challenging. If the people I am camping with are willing to pitch in to help with cleaning after dinner ... GREAT! If they are more of the "I'll keep the campfire going while you do the dishes" type, then I try to use disposable gear like Disposable Foil Dutch Oven Liners (make sure you get the right size liner because it is not easy to fit a 14" liner in a 12" Dutch oven!) Oh, one more camping tip ... I try to avoid camping with "campfire tenders" unless I am doing my only-once-a-year hot dog and canned beans menu. LOL
