Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the saltine crackers, celery, onion, eggs, parsley and pepper. Set aside.

  2. Measure the half-and-half into a small cup and stir in the cornstarch. Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in the half-and-half and simmer for a few minutes to thicken. The gravy will be somewhat thin.

  3. Pour hot gravy over the cracker mixture one cup at a time, stirring each time, until the dressing is moist but not soupy. Cover the bowl tightly with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Recipe Note

This dish is a holiday tradition in our family that dates back several generations. I think its origins are from the Pennsylvania Dutch country. It is quick, easy and a definite complement to the holiday table.
