Cornbread for dressing

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!

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

Southern comfort made easy

When it’s the holiday season and you need a quick and easy recipe for cornbread & chicken dressing !

Awesome

This was my Granny’s recipe that wasn’t written down, it’s just by what she knew would taste good together. #keeprecipesalive

Great grandmother's southern cornbread dressing.

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

u got to try it really good.

Season of the hearty meals

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

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

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.

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.

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 mother made the best cornbread dressing I have ever eaten. This is my version of her recipe. She never wrote it down and cooked everything from scratch ♥️#givingthanks

My mom used to make her cornbread from scratch, but they didn’t have mixes then.Usually for zThanksgiving or Christmas.

I love cornbread with chili, chicken noodle soup or in a bowl with milk like cereal.

This is a recipe from Alex Guarnaschelli that I amend slightly due to my liking. My family would be ashamed of me because this is not exactly southern cornbread, but I like it kind of smooth (less crumbly) and what they don’t know won’t hurt them. The other sinful thing I like, which I would strongly suggest, is putting an obscene amount of buttermilk into this cornbread (more than the recipe calls for) and pulling it out of the oven early so the middle is still raw. It sounds crazy, but try it.

I made this again with 1% milk instead of buttermilk..1,000 times better!

I Was inspired by my grandmother. She loves to bake . Who wouldn’t? It the way to everyone heart .

This showed up in my family about 20 years ago. Not sure where it originally comes from, but it's awesome! This is how we make it, but as with any recipe, you can make changes to make it your own. Can double dressing and cornbread, to your liking.

My Mom Babe taught me how to make cornbread. We closely followed the Alber's Cornmeal cornbread recipe adding more sugar, melting Crisco shortening instead of using cooking oil, and adjusting the flour and cornmeal measurements. I use more flour and less cormeal instead of 50/50 so the cornbread does not crumble apart as bad. This is a sweeter cornbread with a cake like texture. So good!
