Sweet Potato Sausage Stuffing

Amy OsborneAuthorAmy OsborneDifficultyBeginner

This is hands-down my favorite dish for the holidays! It's hearty, yet clean and won't leave you feeling, well, stuffed.
If you're spending this holiday at home or alone, this dish is a great option! Not only does it reheat well, it makes for an amazing breakfast, especially when topped with an egg or two.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

 4 cups Chopped sweet potatoes (3-4 medium-sized potatoes)
 1 lb Ground sausage

Meanwhile, brown ground sausage in cast iron pan.

When fully cooked, remove sausage from cast iron pan and place in large bowl. Add carrots, celery and onion to the fat and cook over medium heat until onions are translucent, stirring frequently.

5

Coarsely chop rosemary, thyme and garlic (as well as any other herbs you'd like to use!) And add them to food processor with 2 Tbsp room-temperature butter, 2 tsp salt and pecans. Pulse to combine, but don't over blend, or your texture will end up like a paste.
