Granny's Thanksgiving Dressing

Ingredients

  • 2 medium onions
  • 8 Tbsp butter, divided
  • 1 lb sausage
  • 1 loaf bread
  • 1 Tbsp chicken bouillon
  • 1 Tbsp poultry seasoning
  • 3 cups hot water
  • 3 eggs

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, tear bread into small pieces and fluff with your hands to keep the pieces from sticking.  Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute’ onions in 4 TBSP of butter over medium heat.  Crumble the sausage into the onions and cook through.
  • Add seasonings to the bread pieces and then pour the hot water over the bread.  Toss the bread to wet thoroughly.
  • When the sausage and onions are finished, add the mixture to the bread and stir to evenly distribute.  In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and add to bread mixture, stirring quickly and well to keep eggs from setting up.
  • Melt the other 4 TBSP of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat and add dressing.  Evenly distribute in the skillet, cover, and cook 4 minutes, turn and cover.  Do this until the dressing is browned all over.  You could also finish this in a slow oven (300°) until browned (about 15 minutes) or even in a crock pot on high for about an hour (it just won’t be quite as pretty).
