Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread with the sautéed vegetables mixture. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or turkey broth with the eggs, dried sage, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

  5. Pour the broth mixture over the cornbread and vegetable mixture. Gently fold everything together until well combined. The mixture should be moist but not overly wet.

  6. Transfer the dressing mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover the dish with foil.

  7. Bake the dressing in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.

  8. Once done, remove the dressing from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
