Ingredients:

  • 1 sleeve saltine crackers
  • 1 egg
  • about 2 tbsp. butter, very soft
  • 1/4 cup milk (more may be needed)
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, chopped including some leaves
  • 1/4 tsp mace
  • 1 dash pepper

Directions:

  1. Crush and crumble the crackers into a large bowl. Break the egg over the crackers. Add milk; should be enough to moisten ~ if not add more. Let soak a few minutes. Then add the remaining ingredients. Add them in amounts that may vary according to taste.
  2. Mix well. Mixture should hold together but not be extra moist. If too moist, add more crackers. If too dry (crumbly) add more milk. Spoon into salted chicken cavity. This makes enough to stuff one roasting chicken. The stuffed chicken roasts 30 minutes a pound at 350 degrees F. Alternately, you may spoon the dressing into a greased baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30-45 minutes. I like to baste the dressing with turkey drippings once or twice while heating.
  3. Note: You may wilt the chopped onion with chopped celery (including some leaves) in the 2 tablespoons butter before pouring on crackers, if desired.
