Method
 

Prepare the Base
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add the diced celery, onion, and green bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread, cooked chorizo mixture, chicken broth, dried sage, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Assemble the Casserole
  1. Transfer the cornbread mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  2. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake
  1. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  2. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  3. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
