Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb bacon diced
3 links Johnsonville Italian sausage (or your choice), casings removed
1 large loaf Italian bread (16 cups toasted and cubed)
1 c diced onion
4 - 5 stalks celery diced
1 1/2 large apples, diced with peels on (I used Granny Smiths)
1/2 c dried cherries (or dried cranberries if you prefer)
2-3 c chicken broth (depending on how well you toasted the bread)
1/2 tsp sage, dried
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1/4 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1 pinch red chili flakes
1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt & pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350F. Cut your loaf of bread in half and place on baking sheet to toast nicely golden.
  • 2. As bread is toasting, in a skillet saute your bacon till crisp.
  • 3. Remove to a paper-lined plate, and reserve your drippings.
  • 4. Add your sausage to the same skillet and break apart. Cook until all pink has disappeared.
  • 5. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • 6. Return the reserved bacon drippings to the skillet and add your diced onion.
  • 7. Saute until onion is just starting to soften.
  • 8. Bread should be toasted nicely. Remove from oven. When cool enough to handle, cube the bread and add the cubes into a large bowl.
  • 9. Add your diced apples.
  • 10. Add the rest of your ingredients including your spices, and mix well until all ingredients have been incorporated.
  • 11. Add your chicken broth. Depending on your size bread, it could take either 2-3 cups.
  • 12. Using a 13 x 9 pan spray with nonstick spray. Pour the stuffing mixture and spread evenly.
  • 13. Bake at 350F for 45-55 covered. Uncover the last 20 minutes or so to crisp a little ontop.
  • 14. You can serve from the pan, or place in a pretty bowl to bring to the table. Sit back, and get ready for compliments!!
