Italian Sausage Stuffing Casserole

From the folks at the johnsonsville sausage company, a highly seasoned unstuffed-stuffing. It's really a one dish meal. the original recipe called for adding a small can (2 1/4 oz) of chopped black olives but i omitted that as we don't care for the taste. feel free to add it back.
