"This is one of my favorites! You may use fresh sliced mushrooms that have been sauteed in butter in place of canned. If you are planning to serve more than 8 people then prepare two separate recipes and bake in two dishes, I use all of a 400 gram French bread that amount works perfectly for this recipe, add in chopped cooked carrots or peas to the stuffing mixture if desired, I have even added in cooked chopped bacon along with the sausage! This may be completely prepared and refrigerated for up to 8 hours before baking -- this is a fantastic stuffing casserole!" "

Step 1
Set oven to 350 degrees F, then butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Heat 1/3 cup oil and 1/3 cup butter butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add in the sausage meat with the onion, garlic, celery, mushrooms, parsley, sage, bay leaf, poultry seasoning and chopped apples; saute over medium heat until the sausage meat is cooked and the veggies are tender (about 5 minutes)season with seasoned salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
Add the cubed bread to the sausage/veggies mixture; mix to combine and season with more seasoned salt and black pepper.
Step 5
In a bowl mix together 1 cup of broth with 1 cup half and half cream (or milk) melted butter and eggs until well combined.
Step 6
Add to the breadcrumb/veggie mixture; toss to combine (season with more salt and pepper if desired).
Step 7
Transfer mixture to the buttered cassserole dish.
Step 8
Drizzle top with remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth (if you prefer your stuffing on the dry side, then omit the 1/2 cup of broth on top).

Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese --- at this point you can cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours.
Step 10
