🌽 Cornbread Dressing

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2 — Sauté Vegetables

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the celery and onion and sauté until softened, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 3 — Combine Bread and Seasonings

In a large bowl, mix the crumbled cornbread and cubed white bread.
Add sautéed vegetables, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, and optional pecans or sausage. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4 — Add Eggs and Broth

Pour the beaten eggs over the bread mixture.
Gradually add broth until the mixture is moist but not soggy. Stir gently to combine.

Step 5 — Bake

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the top is golden and the dressing is set.

Step 6 — Serve

Let cool slightly before serving.
Perfect as a side for roasted turkey, chicken, or ham.

💡 Tips

• Make ahead: Prepare the mixture the night before and refrigerate; bake when ready.
