Ready in 50 mins (20 min prep, 30 min cook)
Serves 8
Ingredients:
1 package CHi Italian Herb
7-8 cups (half a large loaf) baked french bread, cubed (or sub for gluten-free bread)
1 tbsp. vegan butter
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
2 celery ribs, diced

1 tbsp. garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. dried fennel
1 tsp. fresh oregano, minced

2 1/2 cups vegetable stock
Salt and pepper to taste
STEP 1 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until toasted. Make sure to rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even cooking.
STEP 2 While the cubes are baking, heat a large pan over medium heat. Cook Chi Italian Herb Ground Pork according to the package. Place cooked ground pork onto a plate and set aside. Place the pan back on the burner at medium heat.
STEP 3 Add butter to the pan until melted. Stir in onions, celery, carrots, and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes. Sprinkle in fennel, oregano, and thyme. Cook for an additional 8 minutes until vegetables are tender. Add in pork and mix until well combined. Set aside.
STEP 4 Remove the bread from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees. Add bread and vegetable/pork mixture to a large casserole dish. Pour broth on top and mix well.
