Ingredients
| 4 lbs | Parks packaged Sausage spicy or mild, to taste |
| 3 lbs | Ground beef |
| 2 loaves | Italian bread |
| 1-2 cans | Chicken Broth |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1 cup | Chopped yellow onion |
| 1 cup | Chopped celery |
| 2 tbs | Parsley, fresh or dried |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1/2 tsp | Pepper |
| 1/4 tsp | Bells Poultry Seasoning |
| 1 cup | Italian seasoned breadcrumbs (as needed) |
Pre-Prep
Leave bread out on the counter for a day or so before cooking so it dries naturally.
Cut it up into small pieces to make it dry faster.
We want the bread to be dry so it absorbs the chicken stock.
Directions
- Add just enough chicken broth to make bread mushy. if bread is already soft, use less broth.
- Cook sausage first, keeping oil
- Cook ground beef in same oil until brown, again keeping oil.
- With oil in pan, cook onions and celery until they are soft and transparent, not caramelized.
- Let cooked ingredients stand until cool enough to handle manually.
- Mix cooked ingredients together by hand in large bowl.
- Add parsley, salt, pepper to taste.
- Add Bells Poultry Seasoning to taste - start with a small amount, it is very potent.
- If mixture is too wet, add seasoned breadcrumbs
- Add 2 eggs to mixture, mix thoroughly
- Transfer to baking pans
Bake @400 for 1 hr - a little more if you like a crisp crust on top
