Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Skillet
  • Baking dish
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 batch of cornbread (about 8 cups crumbled)
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 cup bell pepper, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Crumble the cornbread into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Over medium heat melt the butter in a skillet. Add the celery, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. About 7-7 minutes sauté vegetables until tender.
  • Pour the sautéed vegetables over the crumbled cornbread.
  • Add the chicken or vegetable broth, dried sage, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until well combined and the cornbread absorbs the liquid.
  • Put the mixture in a greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the dressing is golden brown and set in the center.
  • Once the baking is complete remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
