I’m pretty sure I have said this before but I LOVE stuffing.

When I was a kid my parents would always get super annoyed with me when I tried to load my Thanksgiving plate up with nothing but stuffing and cheesy potatoes.

For the record, I still totally do this in my adult life too.

Mostly because I 100% took heart to the whole “when you’re an adult you can do what you want” speech.

I mean, as an adult I guess I might sneak on a little turkey BUT I’m really just about Thanksgiving for the stuffing, cheesy potatoes, pie, boozy coffee, and the whole “after dessert sits at the table and look at Black Friday sales flyers” shenanigans.

Growing up we always had cornbread and sage stuffing but now I like to mix things up every once in a while.

Of course for this version of stuffing, I went way outside of what my family would typically call stuffing. Instead of Italian sausage, I opted to instead throw in chorizo and then a ton of spicy southwest flavor.

I think if I had thought to do it I would have even thrown on a little shredded cheese at the end to really jazz things up.

Oh, and that sprinkling of cilantro on top is totally necessary. Who doesn’t love cilantro? Well, except for all those people that swear cilantro tastes like soap.

I would be so sad if I was one of those people.
