Cornbread dressing recipes in the south are generally passed down from generation to generation. I learned as a small girl growing up in the south that ever piece of left over biscuit, bread or cornbread two weeks prior to Thanksgiving was saved for “dressing”. One day I asked my momma for the cornbread dressing recipe and she gave me a list of ingredients – no measurements, no instructions, no cook times. This is what my Granny had passed down to her. What makes this a great recipe is that this can be made in advanced and kept in the refrigerator and not baked until the next day.
*The main key to dressing is the cornbread and the key to perfect cornbread is using a cast iron skillet.
Southern Cornbread Dressing
2 pans of cornbread, 8” or 9” (make from scratch or use 2 cornbread mixes). Note that the Jiffy mix tends to make the cornbread dressing a little sweeter than with homemade cornbread.
4 slices white bread (torn into small pieces) or (substitute 2 leftover biscuits)
1 cup celery finely chopped
1 cup green onion finely chopped
¼ cup butter
2 boiled eggs (grated or chopped fine)
6 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons rubbed sage
Salt & Pepper to taste
1. Sauté chopped green onions and chopped celery in butter over medium heat in skillet about 8-10 minutes until tender.
2. Crumble cornbread into large bowl. Add bread pieces or crumbled biscuit.
3. Stir sautéed green onions and celery into cornbread mixture.
4. Add grated eggs.
5. Pour in chicken broth. Stir in sage and add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
6. Pour into a greased baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until it is baked through.
