1 pound of sweet Italian bulk sausage
1 bag of seasoned stuffing mix (7 1/2 ounce bag)

In large Dutch oven, over medium-high heat, saute in olive oil: Onion, Celery, Fennel, parsley, Shallots and sage leaves. Cook until all vegetables are tender.

Add Italian Sausage to vegetables along with ground sage, rosemary, garlic salt and Beau Monde seasoning. Cook until Italian sausage is no longer pink.

Add seasoned stuffing mix and chicken broth to vegetable-sausage mixture and stir until well combined and stuffing mix is soft. Add cubed Artichokes to stuffing and mix gently to combine.
