November is here, that means Thanksgiving will be here before you know it. On Thanksgiving table, foods that grace the magazine covers show the big platters and the star of the show will be stuffing. And when I say stuffing, I mean the most classic, herby, moist, and fragrant bread stuffing — just like what you get out of the box, but even better. For that I used MorningStar Farms® Chorizo Crumbles (13.5oz Value Pack) from Walmart to make this Smoky Chorizo stuffing.
Best part is that this MorningStar Farms® Chorizo Crumbles are vegan and excellent meatless option for your Thanksgiving tables. After all, MorningStar Farms products are not only for vegetarians – they are for everyone!
For me Thanksgiving and holidays are for get together and making memories and enjoying delicious food. This Smoky Chorizo stuffing is completely vegetarian, you need only bread, vegetable broth (I used home made one as I can control the salt content), vegetables like onion, celery, carrot etc. I used sourdough bread, you can use regular one too.
First make the list and grab ingredients and shop using Walmart’s Online Grocery Pickup Service. You can order everything in the morning and pick it around 2-3 pm. Afterall Thanksgiving is to share the love of your food with friends and family, not to stress about grocery shopping during the busy time of year.
I did add a green chili and small amount of paprika to spice it up little bit you can skip it if you don’t want.
Stuffing is the bready-casserole-goodness that soaks up gravy and sits beside the turkey. Whether you’re looking for a satisfying alternative to vegetarian thanksgiving meal or want to have a variety of vegetable-forward side dishes, this recipe is a perfect one for the holiday season. You can serve this smoky chorizo stuffing along with other Thanksgiving meatless appetizers, side dishes, and main dishes that will delight everyone at the table.

November 6, 2018 at 7:00 amI have never fixed chirozo stuffing before. Might want to try it out ahead of time to see what the family thinks. Does sound different type of dressing to try out.
