How to Make Cajun Cornbread Dressing
- **Seasoning Mix:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Set aside.
- **Sauté Vegetables:** Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 4 cloves garlic (minced). Add 2 bay leaves.
- **Cook Vegetables:** Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened but still slightly crisp.
- **Bloom Spices:** Stir in the prepared Cajun seasoning mix and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- **Add Sausage and Broth:** Add 1 lb Andouille sausage (removed from casings and chopped), 2 cups chicken broth, and 1 tbsp Tabasco sauce (or to taste).
- **Simmer:** Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- **Remove from Heat:** Remove from heat and stir in 4 cups crumbled cornbread, 1 cup milk, and 2 large eggs, lightly beaten.
- **Bake:** Pour the dressing mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- **Bake:** Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
