Cornbread stuffing with sausage

Lets do some  math,cornbread stuffing+sausage=the best stuffing ever.Thanksgiving is here  and its time to get into the holiday cheer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanksgiving is  a important holiday in my house.We make lots of special dishes that we only have on Thanksgiving.I love doing this but I wanted to add something that my whole family loves so we can still have all the flavors and textures.Yes we love cornbread but we also love sausage.So I added some sausage to my cornbread sausage and it is really good.We used to never have cornbread stuffing but then this one year I was probably six-seven years old  my mom decided she wanted to make a cornbread stuffing and lets just say I thought that was a horrible idea. Then she told me about  me about the sausage. I love sausage so I agreed. When me and my sisters were younger we were each aloud to cook two Thanksgiving dishes for our family feast. I would switch off with one dish(I mostly piked apple pie) but no matter what I would always do stuffing,it is my favorite Thanksgiving dish.I was pretty young when I started making stuffing by myself because I have made it so many times. Now it is like my signature dish on Thanksgiving.But now you can makethis and you can love it too.Well nice job you got an A+.ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
