Sweet Potato Stuffing {Grain-Free}

Sweet Potato Stuffing is my twist on a grain-free stuffing-type side dish. One of my many favorite side dishes during the holiday seasoning is stuffing. I don't just plan stuffing; I like adding sausage to mine and using fresh parsley. Last year, I was making a big batch of my Sausage Sweet Potato and Kale Hash and realized I loved it so much because it tasted like stuffing!

I usually make a triple or quadruple batch every holiday, not because I have to feed many people but because I love it. Even if we are not hosting dinner, I always make a big Thanksgiving meal so I can safely enjoy the meal and leftovers for days to come! (I have celiac disease) I am a creature of habit and love to mix everything in one bowl and top it with the Gravy I made from Turkey drippings.

After a few days, though, all the grains start to irritate my stomach. Therefore, I decided to make a grain-free stuffing. My breakfast Sausage Sweet Potato and Kale Hash already tasted like stuffing. I just made a few minor adjustments and came up with this twist. Why reinvent something that is already amazing? You can use any sausage, but the combination of flavors in this recipe is my favorite!

Like my Sausage Sweet Potato and Kale Hash, I cook them in my Dutch oven. You can use a regular pot and lid if you don't have a Dutch oven. You will have to adjust your cooking and/or stirring times accordingly. Make sure to keep your temperature low so it does not burn on the bottom (lesson learned a few times)

Sweet Potato Stuffing is easy to make. You start by browning the sausage in oil. While the sausage is browning, chop the sweet potatoes into cubes, dicing the celery and onion. Once the sausage is done, add all the remaining ingredients to your Dutch oven. Cover and cook for ** minutes over low heat. I usually stir it every 7-10 minutes.
In case you were wondering, my favorite brand is Gillian's Gluten-Free Stuffing. This is the first gluten-free stuffing I tried, and it is still my favorite! I have tried other gluten-free brands, but they are different.
