Cornbread, Sausage, Pecan Dressing

This is my adaptation (I have included the link for the original)of a Southern Living recipe I found in 1999, when I discovered my hubby really didn’t like the “family” dressing because he didn’t like the sage…hmm, only took him 10 years to tell me. So now I make both.
