– 1 cup of carrots, chopped
– 1/2 cup of chicken broth
– 1 cup of bread cubes (any type you prefer)
– 1/2 cup of dried breadcrumbs

– 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, chopped celery, and carrots to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. In a separate bowl, combine the bread cubes, dried breadcrumbs, parsley, chives, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, dried thyme, dried sage, dried rosemary, and nutmeg.
6. Add the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture to the bread cube mixture, stirring until well combined.
7. Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
9. Let the sausage stuffing dressing cool slightly before serving, as it will continue to cook and firm up as it cools.
