Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
Dairy
- 4 tablespoons butter
Condiments & Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Liquids
- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
- 1 cup chicken broth (plus more if needed)
Base
- 8 cups crumbled cornbread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the stuffing.
- Sauté vegetables: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chopped celery and finely chopped onions along with poultry seasoning and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add cream of chicken soup: Stir in the entire can of condensed cream of chicken soup, mixing well with the sautéed vegetables.
- Incorporate chicken broth: Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Combine with cornbread: Transfer the soup and vegetable mixture to a large bowl containing 8 cups of crumbled cornbread. Stir gently to evenly coat the cornbread. If the mixture feels too dry, add more chicken broth a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Prepare baking dish: Grease a 2 1/2 quart baking dish to prevent sticking, then spread the stuffing mixture evenly into the dish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the stuffing is heated through.
Notes
- The stuffing can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated; add a bit more broth before baking if it dries out.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute cream of mushroom soup and vegetable broth.
- If you prefer a crusty top, sprinkle some additional butter or breadcrumbs before baking.
- Add cooked sausage, nuts, or dried fruits for added texture and flavor variations.
