Spectacular Stuffing

Sorry for the delay everyone!  Don't worry, the food pixy is back!  Today we are going to make some AMAZING stuffing.  The stuff in the box/bag is good, nice seasoning...but needs just a bit of help to really be spectacular.  Don't worry, it's super easy!  Alright....here's the shtick:

The Ingredients
1 Can/Bag/etc. of Stuffing
Bacon
1 Granny Smith Apple
Butter

The Magic
Ok, first thing's first.  Go ahead and take your bacon, about three to four strips, and dice it up into large chunks, as seen over here --->
Melt the butter in a skillet, and toss the yummy bites in!

Watching bacon cook is kindof like watching paint dry...but much more dangerous.  So, while keeping a sharp eye on the sputtering bacon, chop up one granny smith apple.
Once the bacon is nice and crispy, toss in the dried stuffing mix, and add whatever the mix calls for, usually just water.


**NOTE** You will need to cut down the amount of water added, based on how much grease the bacon left behind!!  No soggy stuffing!!

Then, stir and cover for about a minute to let the breadcrumbs get a bit of a headstart on the....APPLE which you then add.  Gently poke the apple bits in, using your judgement as to how much of the apple you actually put in.

Once it's set (covered or uncovered, follow the box instructions) fluff and stir it a bit, then serve!
