Saute Butter, Celery, and Onion:
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.

- Once done, remove from the skillet and drain off any excess fat. Set aside.
-
Prepare Seasoning Mix:

Combine Ingredients:

- To the bread crumbs, add the cooked sausage and sauteed onions and celery.
-
Mix Well:
- Stir in the prepared seasoning mix until all ingredients are well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as you want the texture to be moist but not mushy.
-
Bake or Stuff:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dressing is heated through.
