Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Cornbread, prepared and crumbled
- 4 cups Day-old white or wheat bread, cubed
- 1.5 cups Celery, diced
- 1.5 cups Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cups Butter
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 Eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoons Poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Sage, dried
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the cornbread by baking it according to a standard recipe or box mix. Allow it to cool completely before crumbling it into large pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread and cubed day-old bread. Set the mixture aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the diced celery and chopped onion until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the cooked celery and onion mixture to the bread mixture. Stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken or vegetable broth, beaten eggs, poultry seasoning, sage, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the broth mixture over the bread mixture. Stir until the ingredients are fully combined. The mixture should be moist but not overly soupy.
Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Transfer the dressing mixture to the crock pot, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the crock pot and cook on LOW for 4 hours or until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. Check periodically to ensure the edges don’t overcook.
If desired, garnish the finished dressing with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor before serving.
