Description

This savory cornbread dressing combines buttery, crumbled cornbread with aromatic herbs, making it a delightful addition to any family gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups crumbled cornbread (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 2 tsp poultry seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
  2. If making from scratch, follow your favorite recipe or package instructions. Allow it to cool completely before crumbling into large chunks.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes).
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled cornbread, sautéed vegetables, poultry seasoning, and enough chicken broth to moisten everything well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Transfer the mixture into the greased baking dish and bake for about 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top.
  6. Once baked, let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this dressing as a side dish or on its own!
