MOM'S HOLIDAY SAUSAGE-PECAN STUFFING

Steps:

• In a large, heavy bottomed dutch oven over medium high heat, brown both pounds of sausage. When cooked, add chopped onions and celery and saute in sausage drippings until softened, about 8 minutes. Then add pecans and saute for another 7-8 minutes until the nuts have softened and absorbed the flavors of the sausage and veggies.
• In a saucepan, warm the chicken broth over medium heat. Add 1 and 1/2 bags of the stuffing to the sausage mixture and mix thoroughly until the bread is coated. Add the rest of the stuffing if it looks too dry.
• Add chicken broth by the ladleful until the desired consistency is reached - you will likely not use it all.
