Ingredients
2 lbs ground pork sausage
4 cups diced celery
4 large onions, chopped
10 cups crumbled cornbread
10 cups seasoned bread crumbs
5 ½ cups chicken broth (plus more if needed)
3 tsp poultry seasoning
2 tsp dried sage, crushed
Flavor Boosters:
1 tsp black pepper
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for subtle heat)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves or 1 tsp dried thyme
4 tbsp unsalted butter (adds richness when melted into the mix)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large baking dish (or two medium ones).
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté celery and onions in a bit of sausage drippings or butter until soft, about 8–10 mins.
In a large bowl, combine cornbread, bread crumbs, cooked sausage, sautéed veggies, herbs, and seasonings.
Pour in chicken broth gradually, mixing gently until the stuffing is moist but not soggy.
Spread into prepared baking dish(es). Dot with butter on top.
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, until golden brown on top and heated through.
