Instant Pot Sausage Stuffing

Everyone has their favorite dish for Thanksgiving and for my family, this easy stuffing recipe definitely takes the cake! You are going to love how fluffy this pressure cooker stuffing recipe is. It turns out moist every time, and if you want that beautiful crisp exterior, it's so easy to pop under the oven broiler for a few minutes.

Making stuffing in the Instant Pot saves so much space in the oven for your main course, and it's so quick and easy! Using the Instant Pot for stuffing ensures your stuffing won't get dried out, too.

Using only simple ingredients, this stuffing casserole is easy to make and has the perfect holiday flavor. Serve it with turkey, ham, or roast beef for a holiday meal and I guarantee you will come back for seconds!

Instant Pot Stuffing Recipe FAQs

Are stuffing and dressing the same thing?

Stuffing and dressing are the same thing, but depending on where you are located it may be called differently. In some areas, stuffing is cooked inside a turkey and used to stuff other foods, whereas the seasoned bread mixture would be called dressing if it's baked in the oven.

Do you use broth or stock for stuffing?

Broth is a great choice for making stuffing, though you could use either. Homemade turkey stock, for example, is a great replacement for chicken broth in this Instant Pot stuffing recipe.

Optional: For a beautiful golden-brown crust on your stuffing, pop it in the oven under the broiler for 1-2 minutes!

Tips for Cooking Stuff in the Instant Pot

  • Leave Hawaiian rolls out on the counter to dry the day before, or toast them in the oven for 20 minutes. Using dry bread helps absorb moisture without becoming mushy.
  • Gently stir when adding in the Hawaiian rolls so they don't crumble or become too soft.
  • Broil after cooking the stuffing to add a golden-brown crust.
  • Creating a sling out of foil makes it easy to lift the dish out of the pot.

Make Ahead Stuffing in the Instant Pot

You can easily cook Instant pot bread stuffing the day before and crisp it up in the oven right before serving for a beautiful make-ahead stuffing recipe ready ahead of time for the holidays!

How to Store Stuffing

One thing I love about homemade stuffing is that it stores and reheats perfectly!

Store leftover stuffing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up 4 days. Or you can freeze leftover stuffing for up to 3 months. Remember to label with the freezing date and store in a freezer-safe airtight container.

How to Reheat Stuffing

Let your leftover stuffing come to room temperature so that it reheats evenly. Place in the oven at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until warmed through.

Or, you can cook leftovers in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, cooking in 30-second intervals and stirring each time.
