Murphy's Famous Stuffing Recipe

This recipe originally came from a local DJ on the radio. It is very flavorful and moist and it makes a large amount.  I still make a regular cornbread stuffing, but this stuff is out of this world.

1 1/2 bags Pepperidge Farm or Brownsberry CROUTONS
1 box Uncle Ben's Wild Rice mix (prepared)
2 eggs
1 large chopped onion
1 bunch of celery, chopped
1 can sliced/slightly chopped
1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage with sage
1/2 t. black pepper
2 cans chicken broth
1/4 lb. real butter
1 clove garlic

1. Soak croutons in a large bowl with chicken broth while completing additional steps.
2. Saute sausage, drain and remove from heat.
3. Saute onion in the butter.  Add garlic then add sausage back with celery.
4. Add water chestnuts, cooked wild rice.
5. Combine above mixture with soaked croutons that have now absorbed most of the liquid. Stir in eggs until mixed through.

Bake at 400 degrees for 25-35 minutes in a VERY LARGE pan or two smaller pans.
