Steps

1. Prepare the cornbread one to two days ahead according to the package instructions. Allow it to sit out overnight to develop a firm crust.

3. In the same skillet, melt the butter and cook the onion and celery until soft. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
4. In a large bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread, cooked sausage, onions, and celery. Add the thyme, sage, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
5. Gradually add the vegetable broth in 1/4 cup increments to the stuffing mixture, tossing gently until evenly moist.
6. Loosely stuff the mixture into a casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
