Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 pan cornbread, stale and crumbled (recommend Martha White's Cotton Picking Cornbread)
20 slices white bread, stale, toasted and pulled apart into tiny pieces
Approximately 1 quart homemade chicken broth (canned will work in a pinch)
2 cups white or yellow onions, very finely chopped
2 cups of celery, very finely chopped
3 bunches green onions, bulbs and greens, very finely chopped
1 stick unsalted butter, salt and pepper to taste (a lot of it)

Directions:
Directions:
Mix white bread and cornbread together into a bowl and set aside.

Melt butter and add all onions and celery. Saute until they have released all their liquids and are translucent.

Mix onion-celery mixture into bread mixture. Add at least 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
Slowly start adding in chicken broth. Gradually add broth, continually blending until the mixture has absorbed all the liquid it can without extra liquid in the bowl. You'll know when mixture is saturated when you press a spoon against bottom of bowl and the broth barely seeps out.
Keep adding salt and pepper until adequately seasoned.

Put in large baking dish and bake at 350º for 30 minutes covered with foil. Finish uncovered for another 20 minutes or until browned and the center is firm.
