Crazy easy Instant Pot sausage stuffing in less than 1 hour. No more fighting for oven space to make a flavorful stuffing for your Thanksgiving feast!
Oh my goodness, you guys, I thought I’d never say this, but man, do I love stuffing! Or is it a dressing?
Regardless of which term you use, I have to say I have a winner stuffing recipe for you.
In the past years, I’ve never cooked stuffing myself. And I always asked someone to bring it to the dinner. Because I was always like “meh, it’s just a stuffing”… Plus, I don’t have an oven room to make one anyway, since we never stuff our turkey. I’m sure you can relate to this.
Well, since I’m so obsessed with my Instant Pot, I decided to explore this idea of cooking sausage stuffing in an electric pressure cooker. It took me *only* 5 test runs many tests and re-tests to confirm this stuffing is legit!
Last year (2017), I created this recipe in my older Instant Pot, which is now discontinued. I was able to cook my stuffing straight in its stainless steel insert without any issue. However, thanks to my readers’ feedback, I learned that this recipe didn’t work in newer Instant Pot models.
Sooo I got a new Instant Pot (<- this exact model) and re-created the recipe. Now this Instant Pot sausage stuffing recipe is fool-proof!!!
We’re using Pot-in-Pot cooking method using this stackable steamer insert pans. And because we’re using both pans, we can make a full batch of stuffing, enough to feed a crowd! Yay!!!
We’ll cook the sausage and vegetables in the stainless steel insert first.
Then add the hot sausage mixture over the dry stuffing bread, so the bread softens a little bit.
Meanwhile, we’ll whisk the eggs and chicken stock together and then pour it over the bread and sausage mixture.
And lastly we’ll divide the stuffing into 2 stackable steamer pots and place them in Instant Pot.
Note. I did place the lid over the top inserted pot after I placed the stacked pots in the Instant Pot.
Oh and I’m happy to report no one protested an excessive amount of stuffing. Because we use the leftovers in this delicious leftover stuffing breakfast casserole.

Note 1: I used a bag of store-bought plain stuffing bread for this recipe. I also tested preparing the bread cubes myself in the oven (10 minutes at 300°F), but the stuffing was a bit on mushy side.
