Italian Sausage stuffing

                                     Italian Sausage Stuffing

Italian sausage stuff is one of our favourite side dish.
You you don't have to make this with Italian sausage, normal sausage meat is also a hit.

I have never made this in anything other than this amount. So it will interest making a much smaller amount this christmas.

I make my own Italian sausage

Like I mentioned you can use normal sausage meat.
I have done and it is also a great dish.
We really like the Italian seasoning and as I tend to prepare the ground pork with Italian season a lot it just become the norm....Well I actually took the wrong ground pork out of the fridge once this is how this dish came to be :)
