Savory Cornbread Dressing

Savory Cornbread Dressing

Until I made this recipe, I had never made any kind of stuffing or dressing before, other than Stove Top. Working at the soup kitchen, I had seen the head cook there make it a few times, so I consulted her on how to make it on a scaled-down version. I was really pleased with the results.

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1-2 tablespoons dried sage, depending on your taste

  1. Prepare Old Fashioned Cornbread. Let cool.
  2. Dice the onion and celery.
  3. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  4. Cube the bread slices.
  5. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft.
