CORNBREAD
4 cups Self Rising Cornmeal
3 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
5 Tablespoons oil
Combine ingredients and pour into a well greased pan. Bake at 400 degrees for approx. 30 minutes.
BROTH
1 whole chicken
Cover with water. Add 2 Tablespoons salt. Boil until very tender. Approx 1 hour Remove chicken from broth and debone when cool.
Crumble cornbread in large container.
Add:
1 cup chopped onion
I cup chopped celery
2 cans cream of chicken or cream of celery soup
Approx 5 quarts of broth Start with 4 quarts and add more as needed. (The goal is to have a soupy mixture, not dry)
After sitting a few minutes, the broth may get absorbed into the bread and require more of the broth.
Add deboned chicken to mixture
Pepper generously
Add 4 chopped boiled eggs.
At this point, the mixture can be packaged and frozen. I freeze in plastic bags. OR
Pour into greased baking dish and bake at 425 degrees until golden brown.
