I use Jimmy Dean's Sage Breakfast sausage, and I add the apples (1 granny smith, 1 gala apple) to the celery/onion mix when I'm sauteeing. I use real butter and a little bit of the sausage grease to cook the celery mix. Also, I double the sausage, celery and onion amounts, take out the chestnuts, add a handful of orange flavored craisins and/or chopped nuts. Using broth is better too (low sodium). This is the best stuffing ever. I'm going to try it in the slow cooker this year. My family LOVES this recipe.

I changed this up a little as well. You can't possibly use 9 zucchinis unless they are small 'pickle' sized zucchinis. We used 4 medium to large ones and instead of slicing, I diced to about 1/2 thick. I used 4 eggs instead of 3, added 2 tablespoons of milk to the beaten eggs, and used a half of a cup more cheese. I crushed the crackers and used a little bit less than 1/4 cup of melted butter to give them a good crumbly texture. Added some Mrs. Dash to the mixture and baked as per the recipe. Served with a wedge of iceberg lettuce with light ranch dressing drizzled on top (and tomatoes if desired). Was a hit with my family! Even my picky daughter!!
