Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Cook chicken sausage in a skillet then use a slotted spoon to remove and place into a large bowl.
  • Add butter to that same skillet, then cook the leeks and celery over medium high heat for a few minutes until soft, then add the thyme and stir.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then add salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Pour mixture into the bowl with the chicken sausage. Now, add the eggs to that bowl and stir. Pour mixture into a 9x13 baking dish, then add in the cornbread and GENTLY stir! Some if it is going to break and that's ok--you want there to still be a handful of full cornbread cubes.
  • Bake stuffing for 45 minutes or until cornbread is golden on top. If cornbread begins to burn, add foil over top of the casserole dish.
  • Remove, season with additional salt and pepper and enjoy!
