    Saute onions and celery in butter.
    Sprinkle with Bell’s seasoning.
    Set aside to cool slightly then toss this mixture into your favorite dry stuffing mix.
    Heat broth through and set aside.
    Read directions on your favorite stuffing mix.
    Add enough hot water to the broth to make up the required liquid needed.
    (Omit butter the recipe calls for as it was already used to saute vegetable.) Pour over stuffing/vegetables mixture and mix well.
    Stuff your chicken or turkey with this or serve as a side dish (after baking in a covered baking dish for 15 minutes at 325F).

    You can make baked sweet potatoes(instead of those marshmallow concoctions) Bake them ahead of time in their skins, halve them the long way, hollow them out and mash with salt, pepper, and lots of butter. Pile the potatoes back in their skins and top with crumbled cooked bacon. Reheat in a 400degree oven for about 20 minutes ( Or longer if they are just out of the refrigerator.) Delicious and different.
