cooked bacon, chicken stock, sage, thyme, marjoram, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bake 30 minutes covered and up to 30 minutes uncovered to be sure it crisps up on top and edges. This is how my mom made it and how I make it every year. Make the cornbread a day or two ahead so it has time to dry out. Happy almost Thanksgiving!😊
