Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Prepare the cornbread by combining all the cornbread ingredients and mixing well. Pour batter into a greased shallow baking dish. Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

In a large bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread, dried white bread slices, and saltines.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and cook until transparent, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.

Pour the vegetable mixture over cornbread mixture.

Add the stock, mix well, taste, and add salt, pepper to taste, sage, and poultry seasoning. Add beaten eggs and mix well.

Pour mixture into a greased pan and bake until dressing is cooked through, about 45 minutes.

Serve warm.
