    Sausage Casserole

    ¾ C minced onion
    1 ½ C chopped celery (stalks and leaves)
    1 C apple juice
    8 C soft bread cubes
    1 ½ tsp crushed sage leaves
    1 tsp thyme leaves
    ½ tsp pepper
    2 C chopped apples
    1 pound pork sausage

    Crumble and brown the sausage. Pour off the grease, add spices, vegetables, apples, and juice to the sausage. Simmer covered until the vegetables and apples are tender. Add the bread cubes. (I usually freeze a loaf of bread, then set it out to defrost. I try to cut it into cubes while it is still partially frozen. This makes it easier to cut.) Add more apple juice if needed to make the mixture moist.

    Bake in a 350 degree oven. Put in a covered casserole. Bake for 1 hour or until heated through.
