How to Make Country Cornbread Stuffing

  1. In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of sausage over medium heat. Crumble the sausage as it cooks. Add 1 teaspoon of dried sage, 2 stalks of celery (finely chopped), and 1 medium onion (finely chopped). Cook until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage mixture with 6 cups of crumbled cornbread, 2 large eggs, 2 cups of chicken broth, and 1/2 cup of water. Mix gently until well combined.
  3. Pour the stuffing mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
  4. Enjoy this warm, comforting side dish with your Thanksgiving feast!
