Servings: persons

5 -6 cups of cooked unsweetened cornbread, equal to 1 9 x 11 pan
1 1/2 bunches green onions, finely chopped
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
6 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 (8 ounce) can cream of chicken soup (I know, but it works)
1 lb cooked sausage, pulsed to fine crumbles in food processor (not sage)
8 -10 leaves finely minced fresh sage
7 -8 cups chicken broth, homemade is even better
2 cups shredded chicken meat (optional)
salt
fresh ground pepper

1
Crumble cornbread into large bowl. Do not use cornbread mix (such as Jiffy) because it has sugar. Some mixes do not have sugar and those are fine.
2
Put onions and celery into microwave-safe dish with 1/2 cup Chicken broth. Cook vegetables until softened - approx.6-8 minutes.
3
Pour vegetables into cornbread bowl. Add sausage, sage and chicken,if using. Sometimes it's easiest to use your hands and mix, making sure all the ingredients mix together.
4
Stir in cream of chicken soup. Slowly adding broth as you stir.
5
The cornbread will beging to soak up the broth, so let it rest a bit in between adding all the broth. The final consisitency should be very soupy.
6
Add salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.
7
Refrigerate overnight if you have time - the flavors will meld and create a tastier dressing. Add more broth as needed if it has thickened. It still needs to be soupy or it will be too dry once it is cooked.
8
Pour into lightly greased 9 x 12 baking dish. I usually have enough to fill another 9 x 9 baking dish, as well. Bake at 375*, covered, removing foil last 10 minutes so it is golden brown on top - usually 45 minute - 1 hour. You want it to be very moist even after it is baked so do not overcook.
