Outdoor griddle sausage stuffing: A crispy, flavor-packed Thanksgiving side that brings campfire cooking and holiday tradition together deliciously.

🔥 Sizzling Blackstone Sausage Stuffing: A Flavor-Packed Holiday Side Dish

There’s something about the combination of crispy bread, savory sausage, and perfectly sautéed vegetables coming together on a Blackstone griddle.

I only make the sausage dressing recipe twice a year: once for Thanksgiving and once for Christmas.

It’s not that it’s hard, it’s just something I’ve always done.

So when we started full-time RVing, I had to come up with a different way to make it because you have to be careful with how many appliances you are running at one time.

Sure stovetop stuffing is easier…but it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without grandma’s sausage stuffing.

This outdoor cooking method adds an extra layer of flavor that you just can’t achieve in a traditional oven.

Plus, it gets hubby outside to help with the cooking. 😉

As the aromatics sizzle and the sausage browns, you’ll create a stuffing that’s crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with holiday flavors that will have your guests asking for seconds.

🦃 RV Thanksgiving: Celebrating on the Road

One of the beautiful things about cooking with a Blackstone griddle is its portability, making it perfect for RV living and travel.

Celebrating Thanksgiving while exploring the country in your RV doesn’t mean you have to compromise on traditional flavors or quality.

This sausage stuffing recipe is ideal for RV life because it requires minimal prep space and can be made entirely outdoors, keeping your compact RV kitchen free for other dishes.

The Blackstone griddle becomes your outdoor kitchen, filling your campsite with the nostalgic aromas of Thanksgiving while creating new memories under the open sky.

With proper planning, you can prep the vegetables and bread the day before, storing them in stackable containers to maximize your limited space.

🛒 Ingredients Breakdown

Bread: Choose a hearty, day-old bread like sourdough or French bread. Stale bread absorbs liquid better without becoming mushy, creating the perfect stuffing texture.

Pork Sausage Roll: The foundation of flavor in this recipe. Sage-flavored sausage adds traditional Thanksgiving notes, while hot sausage brings a welcome kick. Regular sausage works perfectly for those preferring a classic taste.

Chicken Broth: Adds moisture and richness. Use low-sodium varieties to better control the salt content.

Onion: Yellow or white onions provide sweetness and essential aromatics when caramelized on the griddle.

Celery: Brings classic stuffing flavor and necessary crunch.

Bell Peppers (Green, Yellow, and Orange): This trinity of peppers adds color, sweetness, and complexity to the dish. Each pepper brings its own unique flavor profile.

Ground Sage: Essential for traditional stuffing flavor. Fresh sage can be substituted at a ratio of 1 tablespoon fresh to 1 teaspoon dried.

Salt and Pepper: Season to taste, remembering that sausage already contains salt.

Ingredients on a table: chopped peppers, celery, butter, ground meat, a can of chicken broth, and a small dish of seasoning.

🫙 Storage and Meal Prep Tips

Properly storing your Blackstone griddle sausage stuffing ensures maximum flavor and food safety.

Cool the stuffing completely before transferring to airtight containers, and refrigerating within two hours of cooking.

In the refrigerator, the stuffing stays fresh for 3-4 days when stored in shallow containers.

For longer storage, freeze in freezer-safe containers for up to one month.

When reheating, ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F to maintain both safety and optimal texture.

Pro tip: Store stuffing separately from meats to prevent moisture loss and maintain the crispy edges that make this recipe special.
