2 hours 25 minutes Prep: 20 minutes Serves 8

Ingredients (12)

  • 1 dense dark rye bread loaf, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 dense light rye bread loaf, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 pound mild Italian bulk sausage
  • 1 pound thick-cut bacon, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 8 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons sage
  • 8 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon thyme leaves
  • 2 quarts rich chicken or turkey stock

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread bread cubes onto a baking sheet.
  2. Place bread cubes in the oven and cook until dried out, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat; cook sausage, breaking it into chunks, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer cooked sausage to a bowl and keep sausage fat in the skillet.
  4. Cook and stir bacon in the sausage fat until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Add bacon to sausage.
  5. Add olive oil to the skillet; cook and stir onions, garlic, rosemary, and sage until golden and soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
  6. Combine the bread cubes and eggs in a large bowl or roasting pan until bread is evenly coated.
  7. Add the onion mixture, thyme, sausage and bacon, and enough stock (start with 1 quart) to bread cube mixture, mixing by hand, until evenly combined. Transfer mixture to a baking dish or keep in the roasting pan.
  8. Bake in the oven until heated through and top is crusty, about 45 minutes.
