Cook sausage and onion together until done. Crumble sausage. Do not drain.

Cook celery until tender in 4 cups salted water. DO NOT DRAIN WATER!

Crumble toast. Mix in Pepperidge Farm Dressing. Pour sausage-onion mixture with dripping over the toast. Add seasonings. Add celery and hot celery water to moisten toast mixture.
