MOM'S STUFFING

Steps:

• Mince onion. Put butter into small fry pan and melt on medium heat. Add minced onion; shake on some salt and pepper. Saute until golden brown. While onions are cooking, break bread up into small pieces in a large bowl. When onions are golden brown, set aside. Add hot water to bread until bread is almost soupy. Add salt. Be careful not to over salt, you can always add more when eating. Add pepper (usually 1 1/2 tsp. is enough). Add sage. Use 1 tsp. at a time. You can always add but cannot subtract. Smell the stuffing as you add. Go by smell.
• When the stuffing has a nice aroma and you can smell the sage and pepper, you have enough. It should smell as good uncooked as it does when it starts cooking. Do not make ahead of time.
• If you are stuffing the bird, make when ready to put turkey in oven. Put the remaining stuffing in a casserole dish and bake right away.
• If you are not stuffing bird, just put in a casserole dish and bake. The stuffing takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to cook in a dish at 325 degrees. You can tell when it is done. It will be a nice golden brown color with a light crust.

MOM'S AWESOME STUFFING

Steps:

• Brown sausage and drain partially. (Keep some grease for stuffing).
• Cook Pepperidge Farm stuffing according to directions on package.
• Mix sausage, part of grease, cooked stuffing and all other ingredients, cooking on low on stovetop, continue to cook a while and taste, cook and taste.
• When it taste to your liking, you can either put it in the oven for 350 degrees for an hour or hour and a half or the best way is to stuff the turkey loosely with it. Don't forget to sew the turkey. If you do stuff the turkey, you will most likely have extra stuffing so you will have to bake some of it in a oven safe dish like I was talking about before.
• If you cook it in a dish in the stove, make sure you stir it every 20-30 minutes.
