Turn the heat down to medium after the onions have wilted and become golden. Meanwhile, crush the Ritz crackers in your hands so the largest pieces are no bigger than a nickel. In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned onions, the crushed crackers, and the diced celery. Toss well. In a small bowl, beat the eggs to mix well, then beat in the pepper and 1/2 cup of the chicken broth. Pour the mixture over the cracker mixture and mix very well again. Pack stuffing into a 2 quart casserole or soufflé dish - not too tightly. Bake in a preheated 350ºF/175ºC oven for 1 1/2 hours. If baking along with a turkey, baste three times, every 20 minutes, with turkey drippings and juices. If baking without a bird, melt the butter in the remaining chicken broth and baste with that mixture. When done, the top and edges should be very crispy.
