Froggy1211's recipe is very similar to mine.If I can find turkey wings or breast, I use that instead of a hen. I use more celery than that. I also use poultry seasoning and I make a cake of cornbread to go in with mine as well as the pepperidge farm stuffing mix. I do not have the recipe written down anywhere and I don't measure anything. This is the recipe that my Mom used so it is a very old recipe. She would have been 91 this year.

Large bag of Pepperidge Farm Herbal Stuffing Mix (or cornbread, if desired)
1 stick butter, melted
2 small cans of Cream of Celery
1 small can of chicken broth (or turkey broth reserved from baked turkey)

Mix all together, and it should be kind of moist, but not wet.
Bake at 400 degrees approximately 45 minutes.

CHICKEN BROTH PUT IN A GREASED 9X13 GLASS DISH
BAKE AT 375 º TILL GOLDEN BROWN .

Naturalman's is way I make it except I add a cup of chopped pecans and use cream of mushroom soup in addition to the broth. I also put it in a 9x13 pan and bake it rather than make it in the crock pot. It is also good with chopped oysters (include the liquor off the oysters.)

CROCKPOT DRESSING

1 c. butter
2 c. chopped celery
1 c. chopped onion
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 1/2 tsp. sage
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. thyme
2 eggs, beaten
4 c. chicken broth
12 c. dry bread cubes

Saute celery and onions in butter until softened. Mix with spices, eggs and broth until well blended. Add crumbs; stir to blend. Cook in crockpot on high for 45 minutes; reduce heat to low for 6 hours. Optional: add browned Jimmy Dean pork sausage.

I've used this receipe for years for dressing. Hope you enjoy it.

You'll need a large bowl to mix all of this in.

1 large bag Pepperidge Farm Herbed Stuffing Mix (blue bag)
6 boiled eggs chopped up
1 large onion finely chopped
3 stalks celery finely chopped
The meat of 1 whole hen cooked, taken off the bone and cut into small pieces
1 stick butter melted
4-5 cups chicken broth

Put everything but the chicken into the bowl and mix well
Add the chicken and 1/2 of the broth
Salt and Pepper to taste
Mix well
Keep adding broth until the mixture is loose....not stiff and thick

Butter a large glass pyrex dish
Pour dressing mixture into dish
Bake in oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees

Let cool about 15-20 minutes before cutting and serving

I NEED A GOOD SIMPLE RECEIPE FOR SOME GOOD DRESSING OR STUFFING....
