Ah, just exactly what kind of sausage do you suggest using for the sausage stuffing. Not all are created equal, you know.
Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom,

Any good sausage stuffing should be good. If you're referring to the sausage itself, it really depends on how spicy and what kind of flavors you're after. Personally, I usually choose Italian sausage, (hot for recipes that include sausage meat as an ingredient, or sweet where the sausages stand on their own). Plain brats will also make a good stuffing.
