Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup self-rising cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup self-rising flour
  • 2 to 2.5 cups chicken stock or broth (or as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning (or preferred seasonings)
  • 8 cups cubed cornbread (preferably day-old)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (sautéed)
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery (sautéed)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare cornbread a day or two before and crumble into small pieces.
  • Sauté diced onions and celery in a pan until soft.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled cornbread, sautéed onions, celery, and seasoning.
  • Gradually add chicken stock until the mixture is moist but not soggy.
  • Transfer mixture to a 9 to 10-inch cast iron pan or a 9-inch baking dish.
  • Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy on top.

Notes

  • Make sure to use day-old cornbread to prevent the stuffing from being too dense or soggy.
  • You can add more vegetables, such as bell peppers or mushrooms, for extra flavor.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free cornbread and adjust the liquid accordingly.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat by baking or microwaving.
