Directions: |
Directions:I make my cornbread and usually some biscuits 1-2 days before making the dressing. Chop onions and celery and put in large saucepan. Add enough chicken broth to cover vegetables and boil until soft.
Crumble cornbread and biscuits or bread into large mixing bowl. Pour cooked celery and onions over the bread mixing well.
Add 1 teaspoon each of poultry seasoning and sage. I start with those amounts and then add as I taste. If you get a little too much sage or poultry seasoning, add just a pinch of sugar and it will remove the bitterness.
I also add some salt and pepper to taste.
Add 2 or more raw eggs and continue mixing (sometimes just mixing with your hands or a strong wooden spoon is the best way!)
Add soups and additional chicken broth if needed so that the mixture is very wet but not watery.
Spray 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray and pour mixture in to the pan.
Dot with butter on the top and bake at 350º until light brown and set - usually about 45 minutes depending on your oven and how much you make. |

Notes: Every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas, Granny would make turkey and dressing and the dressing was always my favorite. Granny sent me a letter when I was in college and explained to me how to make her dressing because I was going to make my first Thanksgiving dinner. Over the years I have gained experience and tweaked a few things until now I think mine is pretty close to hers. She always cooked her turkey ahead of time and used the broth to make her dressing, but since I like to serve my turkey hot and make my dressing earlier I either use turkey stock that I have saved after cooking a turkey and frozen or if I don't have that I just use chicken stock.
