Instant Pot Stuffing Ingredients
- Sage sausage
- Onion, chopped
- Celery, chopped
- Hawaiian rolls, chopped into large chunks
- Butter
- Turkey or chicken broth
- Poultry seasoning
- Garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: parsley and sliced green onions for garnish
How to Make Stuffing in the Instant Pot
- Set your Instant Pot to saute mode. Melt butter, then add onion and celery and cook down for 2-3 minutes until soft.
- Add your sage sausage to the pan. Cook until it browns, stirring continuously to break it up into chunks, about 4 minutes.
- Once browned, season with garlic powder and poultry seasoning. Mix through, then pour in your chicken broth and stir again.
- Add chunks of Hawaiian rolls to the pot and gently stir to mix through.
- Once mixed, spoon your mixture into a greased dish small enough to fit into your Instant Pot. Cover the dish tightly with foil. Create an aluminum foil sling by folding one long piece of foil into a long strip. This will make it easy to lift the dish out of the pot when done cooking.
- Pour 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot and add your trivet. Place the dish with the stuffing on top with the foil sling wrapped around it. Close the lid and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
- Quick release, then remove from the pot and remove the foil. Top with sliced green onions, parsley, and Slow Cooker Beef Gravy if desired.
- For a crunchy top on your Instant Pot Stuffing, heat under your oven broiler for 1 minute!
Instant Pot Sausage Stuffing Tips
- Creating a sling out of foil makes it much easier to lift your dish out of the pot once it’s done cooking. Fold a piece of foil into a long strip to create the sling, then wrap it under the bottom of the foil-wrapped dish before placing it into the pot to cook.
- Gently stir when adding the Hawaiian rolls. You don’t want it to mix through so that it crumbles too much or becomes mushy!
- I like to place my sage sausage stuffing under the broiler when it’s done to give it a little bit of crunch, but it’s delicious fresh out of the pressure cooker, too.
- For a crunchy top on your Instant Pot Stuffing, heat under your oven broiler for 1 minute!
The best part about this easy stuffing recipe is that it goes well with everything! I serve it up for every holiday meal, along with my favorite Chorizo Stuffing for a little variety.

Thank you so much! We’re so glad to hear it!
Heather says
What happens if I cook the stuffing directly in the pot instead of using a separate pan?
Em Beitel says
Hi Heather! The texture will not be the same and you may receive a burn notice. We cook it in a separate pan over water and it gives the bottom of the stuffing a crisp texture. It won’t be the same if you cook it directly in the pot. Thank you for your question!
