- 2 cups chopped celery
- 2 cups chopped sweet onion
- 1 (14-oz.) package herb-seasoned stuffing mix
- 2 cups cooked long-grain rice
- 8 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
- 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons table salt

- Bring 8 cups chicken broth to a boil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat; stir in chopped celery and onion. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer 20 to 30 minutes or until celery and onion are very tender. Remove from heat, and stir in 4 cups chicken broth. Cool 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir together Cornbread Crumbles and next 2 ingredients in a very large bowl.
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Stir broth mixture, eggs, and next 4 ingredients into cornbread mixture until thoroughly combined. If needed, stir in up to 2 more cups chicken broth, 1/4 cup at a time, until mixture is slightly soupy.
- Spoon mixture into 2 (13- x 9-inch) lightly greased (with cooking spray) baking dishes. Bake at 350u0b0 for 50 to 60 minutes or until done and top is light brown.
