Sausage and Ground Beef Stuffing with Mushrooms and Onions

Sausage and Ground Beef Stuffing with Mushrooms and Onions

1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound sausage
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 package herb seasoned stuffing mix (8 oz)
3 eggs, beaten
1 t. sage leaves (or 1/4 t. powdered sage)
Salt and pepper to taste
Chicken broth, about 1 cup

In a skillet, saute ground beef until meat loses its pinkness. Drain and
set
aside. Cut sausage into thin slices, and place in another skillet,
covered with
water. Cover pan and cook for about 20 minutes or until liquid is
evaporated.
Uncover pan and continue cooking sausage, tossing and turning, until
meat is
lightly browned and crumbled. Set aside. In a skillet, saute together
onions,
garlic and mushrooms in butter until onions are soft. In a large bowl,
place
beef, sausage and sauteed vegetables. Add the stuffing mix, beaten eggs,
and
seasonings. Add enough chicken broth to hold stuffing together, not too
dry or
too soggy. Place mixture into a 2 x 12" baker and bake in a 350 oven for
about
30 minutes or until stuffing is set.
