How to Make Authentic Southern Cornbread Dressing From Dixie

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, crumble the cornbread into bite-sized pieces.
3. Add the cooked sausage, celery, onion, and bell pepper to the cornbread.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, chicken broth, herbs (sage, thyme, rosemary), and seasonings (salt, pepper).
5. Pour the wet ingredients over the cornbread mixture, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Pour the dressing mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish or a large roasting pan.
7. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent it with foil.
8. Let the dressing rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.
