Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider sautéing the chopped onion in butter before mixing it in. If you want a vegetarian option, you can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth. For a twist, incorporate cooked sausage or diced celery, which complements the dressing beautifully. Adjust the amount of sage according to your preference, as it can be quite potent. This dressing is also great when paired with dishes like Zucchini And Sausage Soup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dressing ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dressing a day in advance. Simply mix all ingredients and store in the refrigerator. Before baking, allow it to come to room temperature, then add broth as needed and bake as directed. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully overnight.
What type of broth should I use?
You can use chicken broth for a richer flavor, but vegetable broth works well too if you're looking for a vegetarian option. Homemade broth is always best if you have it on hand, as it enhances the overall taste of the dressing.
Can I freeze the dressing for later use?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked dressing mixture. Just place it in a freezer-safe container and store for up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, then add broth and bake as directed.
