Dressing made with sage sausage, celery, onions, pecans, apples and cranberries.
Ingredients
  • 1/2 loaf of french bread
  • 2 cups cornbread dressing
  • 8 oz. sage sausage
  • 1 cup onion - chopped
  • 1 cup celery - chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecan
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 apple - chopped
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup butter - melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage chopped finely or 1 teaspoon dried
  • few sprigs of thyme or 1/2 t
Instructions
  1. Cook the sausage in a frying pan until brown, breaking it up into pieces. Add the celery and onions. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, butter and sage. Cool.
  2. Tear up the bread into bite size pieces. Put it in a large bowl with the cornbread. Add the cooled sausage mixture. Mix together lightly. Let set a couple of minutes for the chicken broth to absorb. If the dressing still feels to dry add a little additional water. Stir in the apple, cranberries and pecans. Pour dressing into a buttered baking dish.
  3. Bake at 375 degrees uncovered for 40 minutes. If it starts to dry out on top you can cover it with aluminum foil.
