Ingredients
Cornbread, recipe follows
7 slices oven-dried white bread
1 sleeve saltine crackers
8 tablespoons butter
2 cups celery, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
7 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper

In a large bowl, combine crumbled cornbread, dried white bread slices, and
saltines; set aside.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and

over cornbread mixture. Add the stock, mix well, taste, and add salt, pepper to
