Cornbread stuffing

Corn Bread Stuffing

(I completely forget which magazine I found this in while at the gym!)

 Ingredients

• 7-8 Cups cornbread  diced 1/2" cubes 
• Use a southern corn bread recipe. Northern Corn bread is more cake like, while Southern corn bread is denser
• Usually stale cornbread is used, but I baked it the same day, then cut it into pieces for stuffing after it had cooled- it was great!

• 3/4 stick unsalted butter
• 1 yellow, 1 orange, 1 red bell pepper (diced)
• 1-1 1/2 onions (diced or minced) 
• 1 Cup chicken stock
• 6 fresh sage leaves
• 2 tbs minced marjoram or oregano
• 1 tsp pepper

Saute peppers and onion in  some of the butter. Combine with cornbread and the rest of the melted butter in a large oven-proof bowl. Bake 30-40 minutes at 350F.
