Ingredients

• 6 cups (crumbled) Cornbread
• 2 cups (crumbled) Day-old bread
• 1 cup (unsalted) Butter
• 2 cups (finely chopped) Onions
• 2 cups (finely chopped) Celery
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 4 large (beaten) Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Sage (dried)
• 1 teaspoon Poultry seasoning
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread and day-old bread.

Step 3

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and celery, cooking until softened (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 4

Pour the sautéed onions and celery along with the butter into the bread mixture, mixing well.

Step 5

Add the beaten eggs, sage, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, and 4 cups of chicken broth to the bread mixture. Stir until fully combined and the mixture is moist but not soupy. If it is too dry, add more chicken broth, 1/4 cup at a time.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the dressing is set and golden brown on top.

Step 8

Let the dressing cool completely if you plan to freeze it. Divide into freezer-safe containers and label with the date. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Step 9

To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
