Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on a rimmed sheet pan and bake for 12–15 minutes, turning once halfway through, until dry and lightly golden at the edges. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, for 6–8 minutes until browned throughout with no pink remaining and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Transfer the sausage to the bowl with the bread cubes, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
