List of Ingredients


6 bacon strips
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup butter or marg.
1 tsp. rubbed sage
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
28 cups day-old bread cubes (about 3 pounds sliced bread)
1 pound bulk sausage, cooked and drained
2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups chicken broth



Recipe

In a large skillet, cook bacon till crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. Reserve 2 tbsp. drippings.

Saute mushrooms,onion, celery and garlic in drippings and butter till tender. Stir in sage, salt & pepper.

In large bowls, combine mushroom mixture, bread cubes, sausage, broth and bacon; toss to coat. Transfer to 2 greased 13X9 inch baking dishes.

Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 45 mins. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or till lightly browned. OR: stuff turkey, then bake leftover in pan as directed above.


OPTIONAL: You can also add 1 medium chopped apple. I find this gives a nice flavor and extra moistness.
