Moist Southern Cornbread Dressing With Sausage

"This cornbread dressing with sausage starts with toasted cornmeal skillet cornbread, dried into cubes so it bakes up moist but never mushy. Breakfast sausage, onions, celery, thyme, and fresh sage give true Southern holiday flavor. Make the cornbread and sausage mixture ahead, then bake before serving for a crowd-friendly side that lets you enjoy your guests. There is always that one dish everyone hovers over, and for so many Southern tables, it is a big pan of cornbread dressing with sausage. This version begins with a homemade buttermilk skillet cornbread, then layers in savory breakfast sausage, onions, celery, thyme, and fresh sage. "
