Not Yo' Momma's Stuffing image

Italian sausage adds a unique flavor to this stuffing. Combining cornbread with plain bread cubes keeps this stuffing from becoming too soggy. We love the crunch pecans give this side dish. It's an easy stuffing to prepare, yet your guests will think you spent all day making it.
