This is a simple cornbread dressing recipe that I came up with for those last minute holiday hustlers. Its not too complicated and you may already have the ingredients for it in your pantry. 

Ingredients

  • 1 Quickie Bag batch of cornbread using Our Classic Cornbread Recipe on the bag or on altmanfarm.com
  • 2 large sweet onions (or 3 if you love onions like I do) diced
  • 3 stalks of celery diced
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick salted butter
  • 2 teaspoons Poultry Seasoning
  • 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup

  7. Add the sautéed onions and celery into crumbled cornbread and stir. Let it cool for 5 minutes. Make sure to get all the butter and seasonings from the pan into the bowl.

  8. Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and lightly beat

  9. Add Remaining ingredients cream of chicken soup, ¾ cup chicken broth, diced boiled eggs, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and eggs to the mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.
