Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups crumbled Southern-style cornbread
  • 1 lb pork sausage
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and cooked through. Remove sausage and set aside, reserving drippings.
  3. Add butter to the skillet with drippings and sauté onion, celery, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine crumbled cornbread, cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Beat eggs into chicken broth and slowly pour over the cornbread mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  6. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden and slightly crispy.
  8. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra moisture, consider adding chopped cooked apples or pecans to the mixture before baking for a touch of sweetness and crunch.
