This is a holiday must for our family. I never had a written recipe for this dressing, I just made it. But when our youngest daughter moved to California she had to have a written recipe. So this is the way I wrote it for her. It is delicious, especially if you love oysters.

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 cup onions, chopped
  • 1 cup celery, chopped, stalks and some leaves
  • 8-10 cups bread, day or 2 old, broken into pieces
  • 24 ounces oysters, fresh, drain reserving liquid, chop
  • 1 can cream of celery soup
  • - chicken broth, as needed
  • - salt and pepper to taste

How To Make oyster dressing

  • Step 1
    Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees ( 350 degrees if you are baking the dressing with other dishes, just increase the baking time) Grease a 13x9 baking dish.
  • Step 2
    In a large skillet melt butter: add onions and celery, saute' until tender, when vegetables are tender stir in the celery soup and as much of the reserved oyster liquid as you like, stir until smooth.
  • Step 3
    In a large bowl put the bread crumbs; to this add the soup mixture, oysters, salt and pepper. Lightly mix to stir in oysters and soup mixture. If the dressing seems to dry add broth a little at a time until you get the texture you desire. NOTE: If you prefer to add sage add it with the salt and pepper.
  • Step 4
    Pour into greased 13x9 baking dish and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until done to your liking. Note: If you are baking the dressing with other dishes at 350 degrees you will need to bake for about 60 minutes.
