The World’s Best Stuffing
Source Delphi Forum, ‘Bobbie’

Buy a loaf of Ener-G tapioca bread. Rip it up into chunks. Finely chop onion and some mushrooms. Melt too much butter. Sauté the mushrooms and onions in this. When they’re soft, start adding the chunks of bread, stirring them so they absorb the butter. You’ll probably have to add even more butter, making it way Too Much Butter, but who cares? This is stuffing. It’s not supposed to be good for you.

When you’ve got enough nicely butter-soaked bread, it’s time to add the secret ingredients: a bit of salt, a goodly dose of dried thyme and a few hearty whacks of cottage cheese ( about 1 small container). Yes, Cottage cheese. It adds moisture.
Stuff it into the bird if you wish or bake in a casserole dish. Bakes approximately 15 to 25 minutes. Enjoy.
