Mildred’s Cornbread Dressing

Prep Time 40 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Pepperidge Farms Stuffing Mix
  • 1 pan of cornbread recipe follows
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 2-3 slices of bread torn into ½ inch pieces
  • 1 diced green pepper optional
  • 1 diced red pepper optional
  • 1 cup diced carrots optional
  • 3-4 cups chicken broth

Method
 

  1. Cook diced vegetables in a skillet with a little bit of oil until vegetables are softened.
  2. Break up the cornbread into a large bowl. Combine it with the stuffing mix, bread chunks, and cooked vegetables.
  3. Add chicken broth and stir to combine until all the bread is damp but not soggy.
  4. Transfer to a casserole dish, reserving any overflow stuffing to finish cooking later. We cook the rest with the leftovers tomorrow.
  5. Bake covered in a 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes. The timing is pretty arbitrary – you just want the stuffing to be heated through. You could remove the cover and bake an additional 5 minutes to slightly brown the top.
