Granna’s Cornbread Dressing Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 packages of cornbread mix (plus ingredients per package instructions)
• 10 cups of shredded bread
• 1 1/2 cups diced onion
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 2 large hard-boiled eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons rubbed sage
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 4 cans of chicken broth (14.5 oz each)
• 1/2 cup turkey broth

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cornbread: Follow the package instructions to bake the cornbread. Once baked, allow it to cool, then crumble the cornbread into a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the Bread: Add the shredded bread to the crumbled cornbread in the bowl.
3. Cook the Vegetables: In a pan, sauté the diced onions and celery until they are soft and translucent. This typically takes about 5-7 minutes.
4. Mix Ingredients: Add the sautéed onions and celery to the cornbread and bread mixture. Dice the hard-boiled eggs and add them to the mixture. Sprinkle the rubbed sage, salt, and pepper over the mixture and gently toss everything together.
5. Incorporate the Broth: Slowly pour the chicken broth and turkey broth into the mixture, stirring as you go to ensure everything is evenly moistened. The consistency should be soft but not soupy.
6. Bake the Dressing: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to a large baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
7. Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the dressing to cool slightly before serving. This dish pairs perfectly with turkey or chicken during holiday meals.
