FOR MAKING THE DRESSING:

1st Step

Crumble the cornbread and add the torn day-old bread pieces to a large mixing basin. Put away.

2nd Step

In a large skillet over medium heat, soften the butter. Add onion, celery, and garlic that has been minced. Approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and aromatic.

3rd Step

Pour the sautéed vegetable mixture over the cornbread and bread pieces that have been pulverized. Toss gently to incorporate.

4th Step

On top of the mélange, sprinkle dried sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. To evenly distribute the herbs and seasonings, toss once more.
