No reviews

A classic Southern cornbread dressing with tender crumbled cornbread, savory vegetables, eggs, and comforting poultry seasoning. It is a traditional holiday side dish with a moist center and lightly golden top.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups crumbled cornbread
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon dried sage, or to taste
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 7×11-inch baking dish.
  2. Place the crumbled cornbread in a large bowl and set aside.
  3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened.
  4. Add the cooked onion and celery to the cornbread. Stir in the beaten eggs, chicken stock, sage, salt, and pepper until evenly combined and moist.
  5. Transfer the dressing mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  6. Bake until the dressing is set and the top is lightly golden, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Add chicken stock gradually if needed to achieve a moist but not soupy consistency.
  • Adjust the sage, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Serve warm alongside turkey, chicken, or other holiday dishes.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat thoroughly before serving.
