Instructions:

1. Saute Butter, Celery, and Onion:

   • In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
   • Add diced celery and finely chopped onion to the skillet.
   • Saute until vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

2. Fry Sausage:

   • In the same skillet, cook the mild sausage over medium-high heat until fully cooked and browned.
   • Once done, remove from the skillet and drain off any excess fat. Set aside.

3. Prepare Seasoning Mix:

   • Follow the instructions on the chicken stove top stuffing mix package to prepare the seasoning mix. This typically involves adding water and simmering until the mixture thickens. Set aside.

4. Combine Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, empty the bread crumbs from the stuffing mix.
   • To the bread crumbs, add the cooked sausage and sauteed onions and celery.

5. 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.

6. 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.
   • Alternatively, you can use the dressing to stuff a turkey, following safe cooking guidelines.
