Preparation:

Once the cornbread is cooked, allow it to cool before crumbling it into a large bowl. You can also tear two pieces of white bread and mix them with the cornbread for added texture.
Ingredients:
2 boxes of Jiffy cornbread (or homemade cornbread)
2/3 cup of milk
3 eggs (2 for the Jiffy Mix)
1 tsp sage
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 medium onion, diced into small pieces
2 stalks of celery, diced into small pieces
1/2 cup of melted butter
3 cups of unsalted chicken stock
2 cups of cream of chicken soup
1 tsp of black pepper
2-3 green onions, sliced in half
3/4 cup of low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Once the cornbread is cooked, let it cool prior to crumbling. Alternatively, tear two pieces of white bread into the cornbread for added softness.
3. In a large bowl, combine the onions, celery, melted butter, sage, salt, pepper, cream of chicken soup, and chicken stock. Mix everything thoroughly.
4. Taste the mixture and season as needed with additional sage, salt, or pepper.
5. Add the remaining one egg to the mixture and mix until well incorporated.
6. Grease a (9x13) baking dish and pour in the dressing mixture.
7. Bake the dish in the preheated oven for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until the dressing develops a nice even brown color. If the center appears loose when gently jiggled, continue cooking until the center solidifies.
8. Optionally, you can double the recipe to prepare two (9x13) dish pans for larger gatherings.
9. Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Remember, cooking times may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the dressing to ensure it reaches the perfect consistency. This recipe yields a generous amount to fill a (9x13) baking dish, ensuring everyone gets to enjoy this classic Southern favorite.
