Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread and white bread. Stir in the sautéed onion and celery mixture.

Add the chicken broth to the bowl, one cup at a time, stirring gently after each addition until the mixture is moist but not soupy. You may not need all 4 cups.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, then pour them into the bread mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
Step 7
Season the mixture with dried sage, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasonings.

Pour the stuffing mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 9
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the stuffing is set in the center.
