Instructions

Ready to unleash your inner chef? Here’s how you whip up this Easy Cornbread Dressing:

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your dressing bakes to perfection!
Prepare the veggies: In a skillet, melt a bit of butter over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onions and celery. Sauté until they are soft and the kitchen smells divine, about 5-7 minutes.
Mix it up: In a large mixing bowl, combine your crumbled cornbread, sautéed veggies, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix it well because we want every bit of flavor to join the party!
Liquid gold: Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and melted butter while gently stirring. This makes everything come together nicely.
Egg-citing addition: Stir in the beaten eggs until well combined, adding a little extra flair to your dish.
Extra options: If you’re feeling adventurous, throw in some cooked sausage or turkey!
Bake it: Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly. Pop it in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until it’s golden brown on top and you can smell it cooking throughout the house.
Serve and enjoy: Once done, let it cool for a few minutes before digging in. Serve it alongside your favorite holiday dishes and watch it disappear!

And there you have it! An easy and delicious cornbread dressing that’ll make your dinner the talk of the table. Happy cooking!
