Sausage Cornbread Stuffing

2 pkgs corn bread mix ( use Jiffy brand)
1 lb of sausage ( I like jimmy dean)
4 cups chopped celery
3 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
1 1/2 tsp rubbed savory
1 1/2 tsp dried sage
1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1-14oz can chicken broth ( sometimes it needs a bit more)
3 eggs slightly beaten

Prepare the cornbread, let cool and crumble into a large bowl. In skillet, sauté the sausage till almost done, crumbling as you go. Add the celery, onions, pepper, parsley. Cook about 8 min. Add this to the cornbread along with all the rest. Salt and pepper to taste. Stir to mix well. Makes 10 cups, enough to stuff a 12 lb bird. I do not stuff the bird, I put this in a casserole dish and bake 350 about 1 1/2. This can also be made in the crock pot. Grease the pot (or the casserole if doing in oven) cook on low 8 hours. This doubles well also, but do not double the amounts of celery, onion or bell pepper. Too overpowering.
