1/2 cup butter
1 lb bulk pork sausage
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
1 to 2 serrano chiles, seeded, finely chopped (1 to 2 tablespoons)
1 bunch collard greens, ribs removed, coarsely chopped (6 cups)
2 cups Progresso™ chicken stock (from 32-oz carton)

Instructions

Heat oven to 325 °F. Grease or spray 2 cookie sheets. Place cubed cornbread on cookie sheets. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until dry and crispy. Cool completely on cookie sheet.
Meanwhile, in 6-quart Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook sausage in butter 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until no longer pink. With slotted spoon, transfer sausage to large bowl; set aside. Add onion, bell pepper, celery and serrano chiles to Dutch oven. Cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned on edges.
Add greens; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until wilted. Add stock; heat to simmering. Cook 1 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, using spoon to release browned bits from bottom of pan. Remove from heat. Cool 5 minutes.
