Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Crumble sausage into a large skillet over medium. Cook 6–7 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sausage into a large bowl, leaving drippings in pan.

Step 3

Increase heat to medium-high. Add mushrooms, onions and celery to drippings in pan. Stir in cayenne. Sauté 10–12 minutes or until tender and liquid from mushrooms has evaporated. Scrape into bowl with sausage. Let stand until cool enough to handle.

Step 4

Add cornbread, butter, stuffing mix, broth, eggs, salt and pepper to bowl. Use your hands to combine thoroughly. Add more broth, if mixture looks dry. Scrape into a 12 x 9-inch lasagna dish. Bake 45 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.
