Turn day-old challah bread into everyone’s favorite Chorizo Apple Dressing full of spicy pork chorizo, seasonal apples and classic aromatic vegetables. 
Chorizo Apple Dressing
Talk about a crazy week! The 2016 Presidential election is over and there is just as much unrest now as there has been over the last 18 months. [bctt tweet=”Chorizo Apple Stuffing #holidays #dinnerideas #Sundaysupper” username=”thyme4cocktails”] I absolutely will not bore you with my opinion on politics. We are a strong military family who believes in supporting all viewpoints. 
But I will entice you with this delicious Chorizo Apple Dressing recipe! It’s full of spicy, locally raised pork chorizo that adds a ton of flavor. Chorizo is my secret flavor weapon. It balances beautifully with the sweet and tart apples, plus the classic aromatics. And it’s the perfect side dish to my Chipotle Brown Sugar Glazed Ham this holiday season. 
So here is my big question… Do you call it dressing or stuffing? Enjoy~ Loriann
