I remember my Sainted Mother(tm) making this dish for church socials
around that time too. She added ham or chicken as the cheap protein
and crushed Sarah Lee potato chips for the topping rather than the
stuffing mix or Ritz crackers.

BTW: Half of that stick of butter was for the stuffing mix to allow it
to brown right.

The one I remember that showed up at all the organizational meetings for
various women's clubs was celery, onion, chicken, rice, Cream of Mushroom
soup and topped with chow mein noodles.
