Cornbread and Andouille Dressing

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Generously butter a 13x9 casserole baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the sausage about 5 minutes until brown and the fat is rendered. Add the onions, celery, bell peppers and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl to cool.

Step 3

With your fingers crumble the corn bread into the bowl. Add bread, the green onions, parsley and thyme and mix well with your hands.

Step 4

Add the salt, pepper, cayenne and eggs and mix well with your hands. Add enough broth, 1/2 cup at a time, to moisten the dressing being careful not to make it mushy.

Step 5

Transfer to the prepared dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 25 minutes or until heated throughout. Uncover and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
