Ingredients
- 6 cups (crumbled) Cornbread
- 2 cups (crumbled) Day-old bread
- 1 cup (unsalted, melted) Butter
- 1 cup (diced) Celery
- 1 cup (diced) Onion
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 3 large (beaten) Eggs
- 1 teaspoon (ground, optional) Sage
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread and day-old bread. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium skillet, melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the diced celery and onion, and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Add the sautéed celery and onion to the bowl of bread, and mix to combine.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, beaten eggs, remaining melted butter, sage (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Pour the liquid mixture over the bread mixture and gently toss until fully moistened and evenly combined. The mixture should be damp but not soupy; adjust with extra broth or bread if needed.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dressing is fully set.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the dressing rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Cracker Barrel-style Cornbread Dressing!
