Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. Jimmy Dean® Maple Flavor Pork Sausage Roll
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 bag (14 ounces) cubed unseasoned stuffing mix
  • 3 cups apple juice
  • 1 cup finely chopped tart baking apple
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Cook sausage and onion in large stockpot over medium-high heat 8-10 minutes or until sausage is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently; drain. Return sausage mixture to pan.

2. Add remaining ingredients; mix just until blended.

3. Pour into lightly greased 13x9-inch baking dish; cover.

4. Bake 1 hour or until thoroughly heated (160°F), uncovering after 45 minutes.

Cook’s Tips To substitute toasted bread cubes for the stuffing mix, cut bread into ½-inch cubes; spread evenly onto bottom of large shallow baking pan. Bake in preheated 400°F oven 10 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring after 5 minutes. If you don’t have a stockpot or large pan, cook the sausage and onion in a skillet; pour over stuffing cubes in large bowl. Add remaining ingredients; stir just until blended. Pour into baking dish. Bake as directed.
