  7. Add 2 cups of chicken broth and fold until mixture is moistened. Add more broth, a bit at a time, until desired moistness is reached. Mixture should feel damp throughout but not overly wet. Add more kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish, pressing down the top to even it out into the edges. drizzle with melted butter. Bake 35-45 minutes or just until top is golden brown.

Notes

  • Use cornbread from scratch
  • or your favorite boxed brand, allowed to "air-dry" uncovered for several hours or overnight. This allows cornbread to dry out enough to soak in the broth, without becoming soggy. 
  • Prep Ahead Tip: Cooked sausage mixture can be wrapped airtight and chilled if you'd like to prep ahead, and finish the dish the next day.

  • Leftover stuffing should be stored in an airtight container and can keep for a few days. Feel free to add dried cranberries to your dish if you like them. Make it vegetarian by using veggie broth and omitting sausage.
