Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare the cornbread according to the package directions. Once cool enough to touch, crumble using your hands until there are no large clumps remaining.
- Cook sausage over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until sausage is browned. Remove sausage from pan and set aside.
- Saute Vegetables: With remaining sausage grease, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, bell pepper, onion, celery, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Saute vegetables for 8-10 minutes over medium heat, or until onions begin to brown. Add crushed garlic and continue cooking for 2 minutes. While vegetables are cooking, whisk together Cajun seasoning recipe if making your own at home.
- Mix Everything in Dish: Combine sausage, vegetables, seasoning mix, remaining ½ to 1 teaspoon salt, and cornbread in the baking dish. Toss to mix thoroughly. Pour 3 - 3 ½ cups of chicken broth into cornbread mixture. (This may seem like a lot at first, but remember, you will be baking this and a lot of the moisture will evaporate.)
- Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes, or until the top begins to get crispy. Add more chicken broth as needed. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving. Top with finely chopped parsley and enjoy!
