Notes
- Cut back on holiday stress by preparing sourdough stuffing the day before. Simply reheat it in the oven right before serving at the Thanksgiving table.
- Cube and freeze extra sourdough throughout the week. What might have been food waste turns into the perfect base for a flavorful stuffing.
- While any skillet works, a cast iron pan creates a crispy golden top with soft, tender stuffing in the center. Check out my cast iron skillet size guide to choose the right one.
- For extra flavor, mix in cooked mild Italian sausage before baking. It turns classic sourdough stuffing into a hearty, savory side dish.
