Yield 10 people

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb. bulk sausage (whatever you like- sage sausage is good)
3/4 C minced onion
1&1/2 C chopped celery (stalks & leaves)
butter or margarine
8 C soft bread cubes- (cube & leave out in bowl over-
right to get dried out)
1&1/2 tsp thyme leaves
1/2 tsp. pepper
That's the original Midwest recipe- I combine the following from the Sausage Apple recipe:
2-3 honeycrisp or other baking apples peeled & cut into cubes
8 ounces mini portobello or crimini mushrooms sliced (Jim likes the mushrooms but others don't so you can leave out)
1 Tabl. rubbed sage or more to taste
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
Favorite Seasoning to taste- I use Bell Seasoning

Drain off fat & add enough butter to make one Cup (so bad for you but tastes great) other recipe has you use low sodium chicken broth and 2 eggs for liquid- both ways are good! Mix bread, butter or broth/egg mixture,sausage/veggie mixture in bowl with chopped apples & seasonings.- Place in large buttered baking dish,cover with foil and bake at 350 for 45" you can then uncover & bake another 10-15" if you like it browned on top. Definitely double the recipe & eat it reheated after Thanksgiving! Balance your wet & dry ingredients so it's moist before baking & you can't go wrong.
