About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Dressing should look wetter than you think before baking; cornbread drinks up a lot of broth.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Heat oven to 375°F and butter a 9x13.

  2. 02

    Melt butter; cook onion and celery 10 minutes. Stir in sage, thyme and pepper.

  3. 03

    Combine cornbread, bread and vegetables. Stir in broth (it should look soupy) and taste for salt, then add eggs.

  4. 04

    Spread in the dish and bake 45–50 minutes until set and golden.
