We cleaned the freezers and I found ingredients for a few dishes. Leftovers!“Your dressin’ is only as good as your broth” Anna WilliamsI can’t tell you how much research I’ve done, over 4 decades, from every person I knew, in a sweet little place called western Kentucky, to finally get this the way I feel like it’s supposed to be. Having a Cajun mother♥️, I was raised on my beloved rice dressing not cornbread dressing. But growing up in Kentucky, you bet I became a huge fan of cornbread dressing. Not everyone can make a good one no matter what they do. I’ve been that person a few times lol. It should be Fluffy not concrete. Aromatic and seasoned just right. Crispy in all the right places. But mainly, it’s a texture thing. I think, after all these years, I have nailed it. This is more of an equation, but so easy!I’ve heard everything from using a dozen eggs and boiling broth to 1/2 cup of sage (gag) and cracker crumbs. I’ve heard cream of chicken soup and stove top stuffing. Just NO. The seasoning is very simple because ‘dressin’, as we southerners call it, has a flavor all its own. It smells like Thanksgiving and home. This one is the one for me. I waited a long time before I was confident enough to put this particular recipe out there. No jackin around on this one. I can keep it and share it now, thanks to Cookpad 🧡

My husband grew up eating cornbread dressing, so I had to get the recipe from my mother in law.

Awesome

Southern comfort made easy

A friend gave me this recipe to try. It is easy and has great flavor!

In the last 5 years I’ve worked on finding the right amount of each and every ingredient to make what we consider the perfect dressing for the holiday season. And I think with the recipe I finally got it! The perfect amount of flavor and moisture because who wants dressing that taste like soggy cornbread? I hope you all enjoy it as much as my family did this past Thanksgiving! Happy cooking!

I learned this recipe from my mother in law and added my own twist.

Great grandmother's southern cornbread dressing.

This is my mother-in-law's recipe.

My mom has always made this dressing for the holidays with the exception of using shrimp and shrimp broth in it. I wanted to recreate her recipe but ran into issues with locating the ingredients so I implemented it a bit. It still tastes great.

This is a easy southern style cornbread dressing, that I make year around. Add shredded chicken to serve as a main dish. Not to be confused as a stuffing, but could certainly be used for that as well.
