This is similar to what I usually make every year for more years than I can remember. Except, I use cornbread or Italian bread, sage sausage, no rosemary ann raisins instead of cranberries. I've actually started to use cranberries this year but left them out.

I use to use Chourico in my stuffing but it got tough to find the good stuff here in Wisconsin so I went back to my traditional Sage and Onion dressing

I've never tried that yet but sometimes use Chorizo or Andouille depending on my mood.
