Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Cornbread
- 4 cups Day-old bread, cubed
- 1 cup Celery, finely chopped
- 1 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Sage (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the cornbread ahead of time and allow it to cool completely. Crumble the cornbread into a large mixing bowl.
Add the cubed day-old bread to the bowl. Toss gently to combine.
In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté the chopped celery and onion over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the cooked celery and onion mixture to the bread mixture in the bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, beaten eggs, melted butter, poultry seasoning, sage (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Pour the liquid mixture over the bread mixture and gently stir until fully combined. The mixture should be moist but not soupy; add an additional 1/2 cup of broth if needed.
Lightly grease the inside of your Crock Pot with cooking spray or a little butter.
Transfer the dressing mixture to the Crock Pot and spread it out into an even layer.
Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours. Avoid opening the lid during cooking to ensure even moisture distribution.
After 4 hours, check that the dressing is cooked through and set in the center. If desired, switch to the warm setting until ready to serve.
