Steps

• Step 1

  Spread the cornbread cubes in a single layer across 2 rimmed baking sheets and allow to air-dry overnight, stirring occasionally. (Alternatively, dry them briefly in a warm oven.) When ready to cook, transfer the cubes to a large bowl.

  Ingredients

  • 10 Cup cubed homemade or store-bought cornbread

• Step 2

  Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up any large pieces, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Add the sausage to the bowl with the cornbread, but don't stir. Do not clean the skillet; you will use it in the next step.

  Ingredients

  • 1 Pound bulk breakfast sausage

• Step 3

  Add the butter to the skillet and melt it over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, and stir to combine. Season with the salt, pepper, and paprika and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes. Scrape the vegetables into the bowl with the cornbread but do not mix.
