This recipe is delicious, affordable, and very simple to put together. I used about 1/3 of a loaf of french bread to make my breadcrumbs and baked them at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes to make them extra crispy. I used a smoked pork sausage, substituted 1 tsp of dried thyme for the fresh, and didn't add the additional butter to the bread crumbs in the end. I highly recommend it.
