🥘Ingredients

For the Dressing

2 cups Ritz crackers, crushed
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter

For Seasoning

1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2Crush Ritz crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling with a rolling pin until they resemble coarse breadcrumbs.
Set aside.
3In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
4Add the chopped onion and celery, and cook until the vegetables are softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
5Stir frequently to prevent burning.
6The onions should be translucent and the celery should be tender.
7Stir in the chicken broth and milk.
8Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
9Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
10The mixture should thicken slightly.
11Remove the saucepan from the heat.
12Add the crushed Ritz crackers, salt, black pepper, poultry seasoning, and garlic powder.
13Stir until well combined and the crackers are evenly coated with the liquid mixture.
14The dressing should be moist but not soupy.
15Transfer the dressing mixture to a greased baking dish.
16Spread it evenly.
17Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
18The dressing should be heated through and slightly crispy on top.
