Dress up your dressing
I probably should have posted this before Thanksgiving, but oh well. (Plenty of time for Christmas!) My mom made a few changes to the basic stuffing (out of the box) that really make it outstanding. Here are the additional ingredients:
- Three stalks of celery, sliced thin
- One medium onion, diced
- 10-12 link sausages, sliced thin
- Around 6 oz. Macadamia nuts (this is key!)
Sautee all additional ingredients in the butter required for the stuffing (usually half a stick or so), then add the stuffing (12-14 oz.) and chicken broth. Leave on the heat for a little bit and stir to make sure all of the stuffing soaks up some broth. Put in a baking dish and bake at 350 for 5-10 minutes.
I’ll do some experimenting around Christmastime to see if I can make a good recipe from scratch (I’m thinking a nice cornbread leek recipe I saw on Food Network the other day).

Thanks for the recipe! My husband made a cornbread sausage stuffing this year that is to die for (well, not really to die for, that would be silly, but it was really good). Hope your holiday weekend is going well!
