Cornbread Dressing

Cornbread Dressing

I absolutely love cornbread dressing and don't know why I only make it around Thanksgiving and Christmas. 
I could eat it every week. 
This recipe is modified from my Mom's recipe, my mother-in-law's recipe, and my grandmother's. 
Everyone in the south has their own way of making cornbread dressing.

I like mine simple and sage-y.

After you make 2 rounds of cornbread following the cornmeal package directions, you crumble it into a large bowl.  I use Martha White buttermilk cornmeal.


Then chop 5 boiled eggs and add them to the cornbread.

Saute 3 chopped celery stalks in a little olive oil until tender, about 5 minutes. 
Add to the cornbread and eggs.

Add sage and mix together.
Pour into a large baking dish and pour broth over, mixing well.

Dressing should be soupy.

Sprinkle a little more sage on top and cook at 350 for 1 hour.

Cornbread will be moist and delicious!

  1. I've never had cornbread dressing. Can you believe that? My mom always makes hers with Pepperidge Farms cubes and that's all I've ever had. I don't think that I've ever made dressing for myself. I'll have to try your version.
