• 2-3 king size loaves white bread (Holsum King has 22 slices not including crusts)
• 2 cups onion, chopped (might need more)
• 2 cups celery, chopped (might need more)
• enough butter to saute the onions and celery (2-4 sticks)
• poultry seasoning to taste
• chicken broth to moisten
• 1 lb. roll of Bob Evans zesty hot sausage, cooked  (optional but it really adds some great flavor)

The day or two before you will be cooking, dry the bread slices in a 250-300 degree oven for about 1 hour.  Stack bread 5 slices deep on a cookie sheet and keep turning them over as they dry and become  crisp; tear bread into pieces.  This step comes from my dear Mother-in-law.  You could also just leave the bread out overnight to dry and turn occasionally.

Melt butter and saute onions and celery until tender; add to bread.  Turn into a large mixing bowl and add other ingredients.  Cook stuffing in a buttered casserole 30 minutes covered at 350 degrees.  Uncover and cook an additional 30 minutes until browned.  Add chicken broth if too dry.
