This is comfort food at its best.  It is crunchy and chewy and full of flavor.  Because you make this in the oven, it can be a side dish with any meal.  

 

Ingredients

16 Cups bread cubes (1½ lb loaf)

1 Lb Italian Sausage

2 TBSP Fresh Parsley

1 TBSP Sage

2 Cups Onions

1 Cup Celery

3 Cups Chicken Stock

2 Eggs

1 Stick Butter

Salt & Pepper

 

Instructions

Cut the bread into small cubes. Toast in oven for 6-7 minutes. When cool, add to large bowl. Remove the casing from the sausage and cook in a large sauté pan. Break up the sausage with a fork or a potato masher. When the sausage is brown, remove it from the pan and set aside.
