Because everyone deserves a happy Thanksgiving...
Here's my mom's stuffing recipe. It's the best stuff in the whole world, and I eat it only once per year because it is my kryptonite. Even cold, I'll eat it if it's around until I'm either too full to eat more or until it's all gone. :)

2 pkgs. (8.5 oz ea.) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix

5 cups croutons (Garlic&Onion/Seasoned)
2 cu. chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
½ cup butter or margarine
½ cup hot water, optional
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Grease 2 pans (about 8 X 8 each).
- Blend ingredients with a fork or whisk in a bowl
(1 pkg Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix + 1 egg + 1/3 c. milk or Lactaid). - Pour it into the greased pan.
- Repeat steps 3 & 4 for the second box & pan.
- Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool.
- Cut the corn bread into ½ cubes. Set aside.
- Prepare the celery and onion. (Chop em if you haven't yet)
- Take out and use a 9.5 X 13.5 X 2 in baking dish if you have one or a 3 Qt. container to put all the following ingredients in it to service the stuff.
- Combine the celery, onion and butter and place it in the microwave to cook for about 7 to 9 minutes (until tender).
(Or you can just saute until nearly translucent - you can also do that while cooking bacon with it as the fat instead of the butter if you want to be more Southern about it.) - Stir in bacon, water, broth, parsley and poultry seasoning.
- Stir in small amounts of hot mixture into eggs, return gradually to hot mixture stirring constantly.
- Mix in cubed corn bread and croutons.
- Microwave on high 7-10 minutes or until some of the moisture has been absorbed and stuffing is hot.
