Ingredients

• 3 cups crumbled cornbread
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, diced
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon dried sage (or to taste)

Here's how to make it: 

1. Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the onion and celery and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. 
2. Crumble the cornbread in a large bowl. Add the onions, celery, eggs, chicken broth and sage. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Pour the mixture into a greased 11x7-inch baking dish. (If you make homemade cornbread (not a cornbread mix) for this stuffing, make sure it's not too moist. You want the stuffing to have some texture. You could also give it a few shakes of poultry seasoning for even more flavor. Put as much or as little sage in the stuffing as you like. )
3. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven until golden, about 30 minutes. Store any leftover stuffing in an airtight container in the fridge.
