We have had sausage stuffing every Thanksgiving for years.
When visitors would come to our house for Thanksgiving, they would always wonder why Mimi’s stuffing tasted so much better than what the were used to. In many cases, they had never had sausage in the stuffing, used poor flavored sausage, didn’t use butter or simply had a bad recipe. Our secret, always use Jimmy Deans pork sausage. Nothing is better!
This is just the stuffing recipe. Some folks like it cooked separate from their poultry, and cook it in a baking pan. We always stuff our birds with it, as the bird add flavor to the stuffing, and the stuffing actually adds great seasoning to the interior of the bird.
Enjoy!
