The sausage in this stuffing was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

This stuffing is a bit on the dry side, so I would recommend adding some more moisture, such as broth or melted butter.

I've tried many stuffing recipes, but this one is by far the best. The sausage and chestnuts add a nice savory flavor, while the figs add a touch of sweetness. It's the perfect balance of flavors.
