1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup minced celery
2 cloves garlic minced
6 cups seasoned stuffing mix
1 Granny Smith apple peeled, cored, and diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 egg lightly beaten

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 2 1/2- to 3-quart casserole dish and set aside.

2. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking the meat up with a fork, for about 10 minutes, or until no pink remains. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

3. Melt the butter or margarine in the skillet. Add the onion, celery, and garlic, and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

4. Add the stuffing mix, apple, parsley, and cooked beef to the skillet, stirring to mix. Gradually add the barbecue sauce, beef broth, wine, and egg, stirring until lightly moistened.

5. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared dish, cover, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until heated through. If a crisp top is desired, uncover the dish and bake for 10 additional minutes.
