Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I make this year round, and there's never any leftovers. After trying this, there's no way you could go back to boxed stuffing mix! It's a perfect "make ahead" dish, cause you can go through all the steps, except baking, and leave it in the fridge til you're ready. During the last few minutes of baking I top it w/ a few tablespoons of butter to really throw it over the top.

Sweet cornbread and zesty Italian sausage? Yes, please! This recipe is wonderful...a delightful departure from other more traditional dressings.
