1/4 c. butter
1/2 c. water
1 1/2 c. herb seasoned stuffing
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 lb. hot or mild, bulk pork sausage
1/2 to 2/3 lb. sliced bacon

Melt butter in saucepan. Remove from heat; stir in stuffing, then add egg and sausage. Blend thoroughly. For easier handling, chill for 1 hour. Shape into small oblongs. Cut bacon into thirds - crosswise. Wrap one piece around dressing mixture and fasten with wooden toothpick.

Place on rack in shallow pan and bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until brown and crispy. Turn at halfway point in cooking. Drain on paper towels and serve hot. May be made the day before baking. Also freezes well before baking. Yield: approximately 30 appetizers.
