WILD RICE AND SAUSAGE STUFFING
A picture of this dish should be in the dictionary under "savory". Made this a few times, years ago, to rave reviews and have been looking for the recipe ever since. Found it. I recommend baking it separately in a casserole and don't wait for a holiday. This is good anytime. If you prefer, leave out the bacon and sausage, it's still great. Cooking wild rice is not included in prep or cook times.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use good quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your stuffing will be. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables and herbs, and use a high-quality broth.
- Don't overcook the rice: The rice should be cooked through but still have a little bit of a bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Season to taste: Taste the stuffing before you bake it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Let the stuffing rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the stuffing to set up. Serve the stuffing warm.
