Ingredients

  • 5 loaves (1 pound each) day-old white bread, cubed
  • 5 pounds pork sausage, cooked and drained or 5 pounds giblets, cooked and chopped
  • 2-1/2 cups chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 pounds butter
  • 3-3/4 to 4-1/2 cups chicken broth, divided
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons rubbed sage
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt

Directions

  1. Toss the bread cubes and sausage; set aside. In a large saucepan, saute celery and onion in butter until tender. Remove from the heat. Stir in 3-3/4 cups broth and seasonings; mix well. Pour over bread mixture; mix well. Add enough remaining broth to achieve desired moistness.
