Hearty Stuffing

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 loaf of white bread or stuffing bread, cut into 1-in. cubes
    8 oz mushrooms (any kind), sliced
    1 pound some kind of vegan sausage-- Lightlife Gimmie Lean Sausage Style, for example
    2 stalks celery, diced
    1/2 cup vegan butter-- I like Earth Balance, melted
    1/2 of a large onion or 1 small onion, diced
    1 clove of garlic, minced
    14-15 ounces (about 1 3/4c) Imagine No-Chicken broth- veg. broth would probably be fine
    too
    1 egg substitute, with dashes of salt and pepper added to it
    a pinch of sage
    large baking dish, greased

Directions:

This is my Mom's traditional recipe, veganized

I should mention that according to my mother's recipe, the bread should be left out for 1 week in a paper bag to get a little stale, however, she has made this without leaving the bread out and it tastes the same. I surely don't do it.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook the mushrooms in a little water or vegetable oil until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Add 'sausage' (crumbled or chunked) until heated through.

In another pan cook the celery in a bit of oil, then add the onion and garlic.  Saute until tender.

In a large bowl, add the cubed bread and all the other ingredients. Mix together.

Add the stuffing to the baking dish and bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes, until the stuffing is not watery. Don't cook too long or it may dry out.

This can also be prepared a day or two ahead. Just bake it for 45 minutes and refrigerate. Bake for 20 more minutes or so when ready to serve.

Enjoy with the vegan gravy of your choice.

Serves: A lot- around 10

Great recipe - my thanks to you and your mom.  I made this last night for a pot luck and thought it came out awesome.

I have a recommendation that simplifies the recipe a bit.  No need for two frying pans (less to clean).  Saute the onions and celery for 2-3 minutes in olive oil, then add the mushrooms to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes.  I would not recommend cooking the mushrooms in water or broth; I think this would make them rubbery. 

I used vegetarian link sausage which I cooked according to package directions, then chopped the links to be around the same size as the croutons I used.  (I also diced the mushrooms to about the same size instead of slicing)

This was my first Thanksgiving and I have never eaten stuffing before (believe it or not) and this was really good!!! Grin My boyfriend manage to burn it a littel bit though so I think it was crispier than it is suppose to be, but I like that. If I do it again I'll do it without the sausages, they were nice enough but I just think they taste a bit "unnatural"

We tried this for Christmas dinner, and it turned out pretty good! We made the following changes:
  • Our mushrooms were bad, so we skipped those. We added some chopped up carrots instead.
  • We left out the soysage.
  • We used slightly more veggie broth, 16 oz.
  • We added 2 tbsp flaxseed meal.

About halfway through baking, it looked kind of dry so we sprinkled about 1/3 cup of water over it. It came out nice and moist!

I'm just really starting on cooking vegan...so I thought this would be a good recipe to start with. It was a little time consuming (haha I'm usually a microwave chef, so ignore that) for my taste, but oh, was it worth it. I made this for my husband, my daughter and I. I made it as dinner instead of a side. My husband and my daughter eat meat (though my daughter very sparingly-she's very spoiled on all food) and I am trying to go vegan, and if all the food tastes as good as this does, it shouldn't be hard. My daughter may not have eaten much of it, but for her, I think she liked it. She ate the bread and sausage (she won't eat meat sausage). My husband, a certified fast food addict, absolutely loved this, as did I. I will be making this as a side for thanksgiving this year for sure, and inviting more family. This was awesome!

I made this last night for a Thanksgiving potluck at work and it came out amazing. The only bad thing was I managed to burn myself while cooking, but that's just my amazing cooking skills at work  Shocked  I've been a vegetarian for a few years and one of the things I missed was my mom's stuffing. Strangely enough, this recipe tastes so much like it! The only thing I changed was I added a smidge less celery. Thank you a billion times over for posting this!

This is a great adaptation of our family's traditional stuffing!  My mom and aunt have been trying to make my "veggie" version but it was so bland and did not keep up with what I remember.  This recipe gives me what I have been missing and it is super easy! (So easy that after I burned the first batch I was impressed enough with it to make a second!)  I did substitute deli-style tofurkey chopped into small pieces because I am used to turkey in the stuffing instead of sausage.  Everything worked out perfectly!

Made this for a party and sent it ahead - it was gone before I even got there! Then I spent the rest of the night fielding compliments from total strangers. I think this may be legendary stuffing, people!  Grin

This is the greatest stuffing-vegan or non-vegan- EVER. I keep getting requests to make it again. One time I could not get the Lightlife Gimme Lean sausage style, and instead used frozen (and thawed) Boca ground beef, and it turned out pretty good, though the lightlife was definitely better. It worked, though. Great recipe!

 Thumbs Up Great recipe I just tweaked it a little... I added one more "egg", one large shredded carrot, and frozen corn, I also put it on 180c instead of 350f. But thanks me and my hubby are full to the rim and we have more for our lunches! Horrah!

Gah sorry! I also cut and put the mushrooms in a pan with salt overnight in the fridge so I could get out all the water. Then blended it with veggie sausages (because Australia only has limited veggie stuff) and then "heated" it up in a fry pan. Smiley
