Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
- 12 cups very finely crumbled cornbread
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 2 ribs celery, minced
- 2 green onions, white and green parts, chopped

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9- by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Add the cornbread, parsley and rosemary to a large mixing bowl. Heat 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the celery, green onions and bell pepper to the skillet and saute until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and melt. Add the cooked vegetables and melted butter into the bowl with the cornbread and stir to combine. Pour the milk, oysters and reserved oyster juice over the cornbread, then season with the garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt and some pepper. Pour in the chicken stock and eggs and stir until well combined and cohesive. Spread into the prepared baking dish.

It’s delicious. Reminded me of my late mother in law’s oyster (she called it) dressing. She was from Louisiana. Unfortunately she did not leave us with her recipe so now I have a replacement. Thanks Kardea.
