Old Timey Cornbread Dressing

Cornbread Dressing from Way Back

You can make it a day ahead!

What You’ll Need:

1 - 8 in. pone of cornbread
3 stale biscuits (I would not use canned biscuits. They won’t crumble well)
(The following are optional. You do not have to have them)
2 cups medium chopped onions
3 cups medium chopped celery
1 cup medium chopped bell peppers
1 tablespoon sage
2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups chicken broth
4 tablespoons butter

1) Heat broth to about 300 degrees.
2) Crumble cornbread and biscuits in a mixing bowl, add sage and pepper.
3) Add your butter to your pan with heat on med-high then add your veggies and start to stir (don’t let it brown). If you need to add a little water and cook till they are soft don’t leave much water in them. Pour into bread mix and mix well then add the hot broth a little at a time (you don’t won’t it sloppy or dry. I can’t tell you how much to use because it depends on how dry your bread mix is.)
4) Let it sit about 10 minutes to see if you need to add any more broth.
5) Then place in an ovenware dish. (Note: it is ready to eat now.)

6) Take one egg and a little water, mix. Brush over the top, put it in a 350 oven and watch till it browns. You can check the temp. If it is 300 turn on your broiler and brown. Watch it, do not burn!
