Ingredients

• 8 cups cornbread
• 8 slices bacon
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 stalks celery
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 teaspoons fresh sage
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Cube the cornbread and spread it out on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Step 4

Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet. Add the butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat.

Step 5

Finely chop the onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté them in the skillet with the melted butter until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Chop the parsley, sage, and thyme, and stir them into the skillet. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat.

Step 7

Pour the vegetable mixture into the bowl with the toasted cornbread. Add the crumbled bacon and toss to combine.

Step 8

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the broth, eggs, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the cornbread mixture and gently stir until evenly moistened.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 10

Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dressing is set.

Step 11

Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired.
