Time 29m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 lb Italian sausage
1 yellow onion, diced
4 celery ribs, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups chicken or 1 1/2 cups turkey stock
20 ounces cubed seasoned stuffing mix
2 ounces water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 cup water

Steps:

Set the sauté function to high on a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot and add the butter. Once melted, add the sausage and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the onion, celery, garlic, sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables have softened. Turn off the machine and transfer to a large bowl.
Add the chicken stock, stuffing mix and water chestnuts to the bowl and stir until combined. Transfer to a greased 7-inch round casserole or soufflé dish, pressing down slightly. Spray a sheet of foil with cooking spray and then cover the stuffing tightly with the foil, greased side down.
Clean out the bowl of the Instant Pot and then return it to the machine. Place the wire steaming trivet in the bowl and then add the water. Place the stuffing dish on the rack and the lock on the lid, making sure the valve is set to seal. Pressure cook on high for 12 minutes and then naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes before manually releasing any residual pressure inside.
Carefully open the lid and lift out the casserole dish. Remove the foil and serve immediately.
Tip: If you want to brown the top of the stuffing, you can place the dish under the broiler for about a minute to brown.

Tips:

For the best results, use a good quality sausage. Jimmy Dean or Bob Evans are both good brands.
If you don't have any chicken broth on hand, you can use water instead. Just add a little extra salt and pepper to taste.
If you want a more flavorful dressing, you can add some chopped celery, onion, or carrots.
If you're short on time, you can use store-bought cornbread instead of making your own.
Be sure to grease the bottom of your Instant Pot before adding the ingredients. This will help prevent the dressing from sticking.
Don't overcook the dressing. It should be cooked through, but still slightly moist.

Conclusion:

This Instant Pot Sausage Dressing is a delicious and easy side dish that's perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. It's made with simple ingredients and cooks up in just 30 minutes. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover cornbread. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
