Corn Bread-Oyster Stuffing

I've used this recipe for quite a few years now and we love it!

1-1/2 cups butter
2 pkg (8 oz. size) corn bread stuffing mix
3 cans (7 oz. size) oysters
1/2 cup each chopped onion, green pepper, and celery
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
1/4 tsp. pepper

1. In 6-qt pot, heat 1 cup water and 1 cup butter, to melt butter. Remove from heat, toss with stuffing mix.
2. Drain oysters; cut in half. In 1/2 cup butter in medium pan, saute oysters, onion, green pepper, and celery, 5 minutes. Add salt, rosemary, pepper. Add to stuffing; toss lightly to mix well.

Makes enough for a large (20-25 lb.) turkey.
