Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cornbread mix
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 pieces celery stalks
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the cornbread according to the package instructions and let it cool slightly. If using pre-made cornbread, skip this step.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Dice the yellow onion and celery into small, uniform pieces.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Crumble the prepared cornbread into a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked onion and celery mixture.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth gradually, mixing as you go to reach the desired consistency. The mixture should be moist but not soggy.
Stir in the dried sage, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
