I made this dressing ahead of time and reheated it on Thanksgiving Day. It was just as good as when it was freshly baked.

I like my dressing to be a little crispy, so I baked it for an extra 10 minutes. It was perfect!

I added some fresh herbs, like sage and thyme, to this dressing to give it extra flavor. It was a great way to use up some of the herbs from my garden.

I made this dressing without the sausage, and it was still delicious! I added some extra vegetables, like chopped celery and carrots, to make it even more hearty.

I made a few substitutions to this recipe to make it healthier. I used whole wheat cornbread, low-sodium broth, and reduced the amount of butter. The dressing was still delicious, and my family didn't even notice the changes.
