Corn Bread Sausage Stuffing
I made this recipe over 45 years ago for the first pheasant I ever roasted—it was a special dinner I prepared to thank a wonderful sister and brother-in-law for all of their help when we bought our first home. To this day, it's a favorite with our friends and family when they come to visit.8 ServingsPrep: 15 min. Bake: 4 hours
