Cornbread Stuffing

Cornbread Stuffing

*Pamela's & Gluten Free Pantry both have a good stuffing & the Natural Kitchen in KW sometimes carries one called the Baker's Rack (this is the one I used at library class)
*follow directions on package.

Pre-made GF cornbread, day old & crumbled
1 C Onion, chopped
1 C Celery, chopped
Pork sausage, crumbled & browned (I used plain ground, Kroger brand)
1 C to 2 Cups Chicken stock, just enough to moisten stuffing slightly ( you will have to eye it)
Salt/ pepper
1 & 1/2 tsp Poultry Seasoning
4 T butter (Earth Balnce is dairy/casien free)
In a deep skillet or large pot, heat butter & add in celery & onion. Saute’ for about 4 minutes, add in pork sausage, break up & brown. Add salt/ pepper & 1 tsp poultry seasoning. When fully cooked, add crumbled cornbread and 1/2 tsp of Poultry seasoning & s/p to taste. Add chicken stock slowly as you stir. Put in a baking dish, cover with foil and heat through right before ready to eat. 20-35 minutes.
*this can be made ahead of time & reheated day of.
