My family loves stuffing (we call it dressing!) and we loved this dish. The flavors are just perfect for fall. I had to use hot Italian sausage since that was all my grocery store had but it made no difference to us because it was delicious. There is a very pronounced pumpkin taste that is wonderful. I served this with roasted chicken and roasted broccoli and it was like a mini Thanksgiving. I'm glad I picked this recipe for the Pick Your Chef contest. Thanks, GinnyP.

This stuffing is delicious! The cornbread and pumpkin make for a sweeter dish, but the spiciness from the jalapenos combats the sweetness well. Next time, I will probably use spicy Italian sausage to amp up the heat-factor. If you wanted to leave out the sausage altogether, the stuffing would make a delicious dessert, almost like a bread pudding.
