Grandma Juanita's Hot Sausage Stuffing/Dressing

This is the best stuff ever! I am not a hot sausage person, so my hubby doesn't always use 2lb hot when he makes it for me. I will say though, the hot is not as hot as you'd think since there is so much bread in the stuffing ot "cool" it down.

The recipe:
14c Brownberry sage stuffing cubes
2lb Jimmy Deal hot sausage (if you can find Tennessee Pride sausage, it's even better!)
1 stick butter
2 onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2c mushrooms, chopped (optional)
2tbsp parsley (dry)
4-1/2c chicken broth
2 celery stalks, chopped

Fry sausage until no pink remains; drain.
Saute onion, celery, mushrooms, and garlic in butter.
Combine bread cubes, sausage and veggies in large bowl
Add parsely and broth
With very clean hands, mix ingredients together (smash it together to break down cubes.)
Put in to big enough baking dish or stuff turkey.
If in pan, bake at 350* for 45m or until top is nicely browned.
