My standard issue stuffing recipe. Some people like the vegetables diced instead of chopped, but that is up to y’all. This recipe can be halved.

Cook the following for 10 minutes or until tender:

• 1 cup butter
• 2 medium sized red onions, thinly sliced or diced
• 1 small green pepper, chopped or diced
• 4 celery stalks, chopped or diced

Add and cook for 5 more mintues:

• 1/2 pound mild sausage (previously cooked and drained)

Combine in a large mixing bowl:

• cooked mixture
• 2 cups sliced or chopped mushrooms
• 1 1/2 cups bread cubes
• 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
• 8 eggs - lightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons sage
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon mace or nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon marjoram
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups chicken stock / broth

Bake at 350 degrees for an hour in a buttered dish or use as stuffing in turkey / chicken.
