Ingredients

For 4-6 servings

  • 4 Cups Dry bread crumbs
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Cup Diced celery
  • 1 Small Onion Chopped fine
  • 1 Tsp Poultry Seasoning
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Pepper
  • 1 Stick Butter (½ cup)
  • 1 Cup Chicken stock Hot

100 to 125 servings

  • 12 Loaves Bread shredded (21 oz loaves)
  • 24 Eggs
  • 12 Cups Diced celery
  • 4 Lbs Onions
  • 14 Tsp Poultry seasoning
  • 14 Tsp Salt
  • 6 Tsp Pepper
  • 14 Sticks Melted butter or margarine (7 cups)
  • Chicken stock

Instructions

  • Use enough stock to really moisten the bread mixture. When you think you have it moist enough, put in more stock. I really takes a great deal of moisture not to have a too dry dressing.
  • If you don’t have a bowl large enough to mix the whole recipe, shred 6 loaves into one bowl and 6 in another. Divide the celery and onions and proceed to mix two batches and then combine them in a large electric roaster for the long slow cook.
  • If you do not have an electric roaster, put it in pans and bake in the oven. Just be sure in advance that you have enough oven space.

Happy Vintage Thanksgiving!
