Finally getting this out as it’s about 3 months old.
Smoked Pork Sausage with Hard-Cider Sauce – http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/smoked-pork-sausage-with-hard-cider-sauce
This was really stinking good. The hard cider sauce could be used on a bunch of things other than this too.
Mom’s Thanksgiving Stuffing
2 bags of Brownberry sage and onion stuffing
½ to 1 stick of Land o’ Lakes real lightly salted butter
1 to 2 cups of milk
3 to 5 sliced to taste stalks of celery
1 diced onion
1/3 to ½ package of Jimmy Dean’s pork sausage original or to taste
This cannot be stored overnight in the fridge. Empty the 2 bags of stuffing into the biggest bowl that you own. Place butter in a pan to melt. Start to pour milk over bread crumbs. Let soak. When the butter is melted, pour over bread crumbs. Slice or dice celery. Dice onion. By now, the bread crumbs should be stirred or make sure that they all have absorbed milk and butter. If not, add more milk.
This is the really important part…use your hands, like meatloaf to mix all ingredients together. To add the sausage, pinch off pieces and cover the top of the bowl with little plops of them. When it is all mixed together, you can insert into bird, or put into a covered ceramic container to cook separately in the oven. It is best when cooked in the bird, but for extra dressing, it works.
Jason “accidentally” doubling the amount of sausage in the stuffing was appreciated by all.

Because of this, we had a lot of leftover beer. And we had to buy more cinnamon!
