This recipe includes: Cooked, crumbled cornbread, along with a couple other bread-like ingredients (saltines and breadcrumbs) Diced, soft-cooked vegetables: onions, bell peppers, and celery Ground meat: here Ive used a combination of beef and pork Plenty of herbs and seasonings (poultry seasoning, plus a bit of sage to make the meat taste more sausagey!) Chicken broth, to keep everything moist and bind it together for baking When all those ingredients come together, its a truly delicious harmony of flavors in a tender, sliceable format (yes, a bit like cake)
