How to Distinguish Between Civilized Cultures and Others.

[gamgee]

Stuffing must have pork sausage in it!
1 package spicy pork sausage (12 ounces)
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup onion
1/2 cup celery
clove of garlic
1 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon rosemary
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix
1 egg slightly beaten
1/2 cup hot water
1 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules

Cook sausage in skillet until no longer pink. Drain. Put in bowl.

Heat oil in skillet and add onion, celery, and garlic. Saute over medium heat until celery is tender-crisp. Add mushrooms, Worcestershire, rosemary, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

Add to sausage and mix well.

Stir in stuffing mix and egg.

Mix hot water and bouillon in small bowl and stir into stuffing mixture.

Place in 1 1/2 quart casserole pan and bake at 325 for 30 to 35 minutes, or until heated through.

Agreed!!

That recipe looks good, gamgee. I bought the stuffing ingredients last night. 8 loaves of bread, 7 tubes of sausage, etc... Cooking today and tomorrow (colonoscopy Tuesday - what was I thinking???)

You have to postpone it. It will ruin the stuffing.

I don't measure, so this isn't really a recipe.. Just wing it ( )

I make a lot so everyone can go home with leftovers

7-8 loaves white bread - Arnold or Pepperidge Farm (they hold up best)
6-7 tubes Jimmy Dean pork sausage
Onions (5-6)
Celery (1 pack celery hearts)
Fresh Parsley
Bell's Seasoning
about 5 eggs
Chicken broth

Day before:

• Cut crusts off bread. Cube bread. Spray pans with Pam. Fan out bread in pans to stale. Give crusts to the critters.

(optional to do day before - to save time on Thanksgiving)

• Saute the sausage until brown, constantly breaking up as you go. Drain in colander lined with cheesecloth - press to get rid of grease.
• Clean parsley, de-stem. Chop til fine.
• Clean and finely dice celery
• Dice onions
• Saute onions and celery in olive oil or butter until onions are translucent and celery is tender (don't brown them). Cover occasionally to help sweat them.

Assemble stuffing:

Beat eggs in large bowl. Add sauteed sausage, sauteed onion/celery, chopped parsley, and about 1 tablespoon of Bell's Seasoning. Stir in chicken broth until it resembles a thick soup. A couple of containers.

I use a plastic measuring cup to get some solids, some liquid. Divide solids and liquid between the pans of bread, pouring the liquid evenly over. Lightly hand-toss each pan so the ingredients are distributed, and bread is coated.

Cover pans with aluminum foil. Bake @ 350 for about 30 minutes. Stir stuffing lightly. Bake another 15-20 minutes. Remove aluminum foil. Lighlty stir stuffing. Bake until lightly browned on top, about 20-30 minutes.

I can't. Cancelled the last two. Three strikes I'm out.

The stuff ya got to drink and the agony you go threw the day before in preparation really sucks

Try not to think of either procedure during the other.

Yup, that's the plan.
I'll take Ativan. Then it's all a blur.

My family might sit down to Thanksgiving and I'm serving them eggs or something.

The only real way to tell civilized from not su much is to see if the pole dancers take credit. Cash is so last century.

[Absolutely!]
