Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
Step 2
Make the cornbread: Combine cornbread mix, milk, and egg in a small bowl; stir until well blended. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 19 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Step 4
While the cornbread is cooking, make the dressing: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onions, celery, and bell pepper in the melted butter until tender but not brown. Remove from the heat; do not drain.
Step 5
At the same time, cook sausage in another large skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Remove from the heat.
Step 6
Crumble cooled cornbread into a food processor. Add bread pieces and pulse until crumbly. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
Step 7
Add sage, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper to the cornbread mixture. Mix in parsley, cooked vegetables, and sausage with pan drippings. Stir in chicken stock and eggs; it will be a bit mushy.
Step 8
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and fill with cornbread dressing.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
