Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat bottom and sides of a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon oil; heat in oven 10 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together cornmeal mix, buttermilk, flour, eggs, and remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Pour batter into hot skillet.

Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack; cool 15 minutes. Crumble cornbread into a large bowl. Stir 5 cups broth into crumbled cornbread until moistened, adding more broth 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary. Mixture should resemble wet sand.

Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onion and celery, sauté 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Add onion mixture to the cornbread mixture.

Microwave remaining 1/2 cup butter in a small microwave-safe bowl on high for 1 minute or until melted. Stir melted butter, eggs, and remaining ingredients into cornbread mixture; spoon into a lightly greased 13x9-inch baking dish.

Bake at 400°F for 50 minutes to an 1 hour or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
