  • 1 pound ground sausage, mild

  • ½ teaspoon dried sage, crumbled
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut cornbread into bite-sized pieces (about ½-inch). Place on the lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. (You can skip this step if you are using stale cornbread.)
  3. Add the cornbread to a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  4. Increase the oven temperature to 350°F and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  5. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add in onion and celery stirring occasionally for about 5-10 minutes. You want onions to be translucent. Add the onion mixture to the cornbread.
  6. In the same skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until no longer pink. Add garlic, sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook 1 more minute. Spoon into the bowl with the cornbread.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the broth and egg. Pour over the cornbread mixture and gently toss to combine.
  8. Transfer the mixture to the 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes, or until heated through. (Optional: For a crispier top, remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.)
  9. Serve Immediately.
