Ingredients

16 oz. pork sausage
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth or water plus more, as needed
½ cup butter cut into cubes
2 6 oz. boxes Stovetop Stuffing any flavor, I used Savory Herbs
2 15 oz. cans wild rice, drained and rinsed or 3 cups cooked wild rice

Instructions

Brown the sausage in a large, deep skillet, Dutch oven, or large pot over medium heat. Add the broth and butter and bring to a boil. Add the stuffing mix and wild rice. Stir to combine. (You can also use a large bowl if your skillet isn't large enough).
Let it rest 5 minutes to absorb the broth. Add more broth or water as needed.
Serve immediately or keep warm in a greased baking dish at 350°F, covered for a moist texture or uncovered for a crispy top. Or keep warm on low in a greased Crock Pot.

Notes

Add extra broth or water if more moisture is needed.
If you don't have a large skillet, Dutch oven, or large pot, combine the stuffing mix and browned sausage in a large bowl.
For a crisp top, bake uncovered at 350.
Keep warm in a Crock Pot on low heat.
