Servings: 8
Equipment
- 1 9x13 Baking Dish lightly greased
Ingredients
- 1 box cornbread muffin mix about 8.5 ounces
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1/2 cup onions diced
- 1 cup bell peppers tri-color, diced
- 1 cup celery sliced
- 4 slices loaf bread lightly toasted, broken into small pieces
- 1/2 can cream of celery
- 1 can cream of mushroom
- 1/3 cup vegetable broth
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare and bake the cornbread according to the directions on the box.
- While the cornbread is baking, start preparing the vegetables. Dice the onions, celery and bell peppers.
- Preheat a cooking pan over medium heat and add in the vegetable oil or your favorite neutral cooking oil of choice .
- Sauté onions, celery and bell peppers until soft, then remove from the heat.
- Once the cornbread is baked, carefully break up the corn bread with a spoon and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes or until it is cool enough to handle. Crumble cooked cornbread in a large mixing bowl.
- Add into the large mixing bowl with the crumbled cornbread, the small pieces of toasted bread, sauteed vegetables, cream of celery, cream of mushroom and ground black pepper.
- Stir everything together. As you're stirring, add in a little bit of the vegetable broth to help loosen the dressing mixture. Be careful not to make it soupy! It should still be stiff but easy to mix and you may not need the whole ⅓ cup of vegetable broth.
- Pour mixture in the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the middle is set.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cornbread dressing to rest, about 10 minutes before serving.
