    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.

    In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook celery and onion in butter, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender. Remove vegetables to extra-large bowl.

    Add sausage to same skillet. Cook until no longer pink; drain. Add sausage, sage, salt and pepper to bowl; mix well.
  • 4
    Stir in bread cubes. Drizzle chicken broth over bread cubes; toss to combine. (Add up to 1/2 cup more broth if moister stuffing is desired.) Spoon into baking dish.
  • 5
    Cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes; uncover, and bake 10 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown and heated through.

  • Try adding additional ingredients to your stuffing to make it your own! Some flavorful additions you can stir in with your bread cubes are dried cranberries, apricots or cherries, currants or golden raisins, cut-up apples, sautéed mushrooms, toasted walnuts or pecans.
  • You can make the stuffing the day before you bake it; cover with foil, and refrigerate. Add 5 minutes to bake time to make sure it is heated through in center.
  • For the best sausage stuffing use your favorite pork sausage.
