Making Cornbread Dressing is a straightforward process that yields comforting results. Follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare Cornbread: Start by baking your cornbread according to the box or recipe instructions. Allow it to cool, then crumble it into a large bowl.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, melt the butter and add the diced celery and onion. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Combine Ingredients: In the bowl with cornbread, add the sautéed vegetables. If using, stir in the cooked sausage and chopped parsley.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable or chicken broth, beaten eggs, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.
5. Combine Mixtures: Pour the broth mixture over the cornbread, gently folding until fully combined. Ensure the dressing is moist, adding more broth if needed.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish, then pour the dressing mixture into it, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake uncovered for about 45-50 minutes until golden brown on top and set in the center.
8. Cool Slightly: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

These simple steps will guide you in creating an incredible batch of Cornbread Dressing that is sure to impress.
