Ingredients

• 0.25 cup butter
• 0.5 cup chopped onions
• 0.5 cup chopped celery
• 1 (1 pound) loaf cornbread, crumbled
• 1 (1 pound) loaf day-old white bread, torn into small pieces

• 0.13 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for baking.
2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and celery until softened, approximately 5-7 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, combine crumbled cornbread with white bread pieces.
