1. Preheat Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 7×11-inch baking dish.

2. Prepare Cornbread Base

In a large bowl, crumble 3 cups of cornbread. This will be the hearty base of your dressing.

3. Sauté Vegetables

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and chopped celery. Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened and fragrant.

4. Combine Ingredients

Transfer the sautéed veggies to the bowl with crumbled cornbread. Stir in beaten eggs, chicken stock, dried sage, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

5. Bake to Perfection

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the top is slightly crispy.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve warm. Pair with roast turkey or ham for a traditional Southern feast.
