Family Cookbook Mushroom Stuffing

Ingredients:

1 loaf French bread, cubed
1 Tbsp garlic salt
4 stalks celery
1 Tbsp curry powder
3 sticks butter
2 tsp black pepper
1 (10 oz) pkg sliced white mushrooms
2 large eggs, beaten with 2 Tbsp water

Directions:

Preheat oven to 250o. Scatter the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake until dried out, but not browned (approx. 40 minutes). Let cool. Increase oven temperature to 350 o. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, and mushrooms, cooking until softened. Stir in garlic salt, curry powder and pepper until combined. In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the beaten egg mixture. Add the vegetable mixture and toss until well combined. Spoon the stuffing into a buttered casserole dish. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes.
