The Stuffing

My daughter called me today and wanted the family stuffing recipe so I thought I would put it on here with the side dishes for Thanksgiving. Stuffing is another one of those dishes that you can change up in varying ways. Go with your taste and experiment a little at a time.

Sausage Stuffing

1 bag bread crumbs or leftover cornbread crumbled

1 pkg. Sausage cooked, crumbled, drained

3 stalks celery, diced

1 medium onion, diced

1 box chicken stock in a box + ½ of another OR 1 ½ qt turkey stock made from giblets & neck

sage about 2 tsp.
thyme 2 tsp.

poultry seasoning 2 tsp.

salt & pepper to taste

water chestnuts, diced

• cranberries, raisins, nuts, apples can all be added also

Brown the sausage and remove from grease. Cook the onion and celery in the sausage grease just until soft. (If not much grease you can add a little butter to the pan before sauteeing)

Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix together until wet. You will want your mix to be wet without swimming in it and just enough to keep it from drying out in the oven. Put into an oven safe dish and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.

As always...

Happy cooking and good eating!
