1 small onion, diced
0.5 cup chopped celery
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon dried sage, or more to taste

Instructions

Gather all the necessary ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 7x11 inch baking dish. Place the crumbled cornbread in a large mixing bowl.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery; sauté until softened, approximately 5-7 minutes.
