    • 1/2 Teaspoon black pepper

    • 1 Teaspoon brown sugar

    Heat a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and break it up into small chunks. Add sausage seasoning to the sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Butter a 13” x 9” x 2” baking dish and set aside. Scatter bread (torn into 1" pieces) in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool; transfer to a large bowl and add toasted hazelnuts.

    • 2 1/2 Cup onion, diced

    • 1 1/2 Cup celery, diced
