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

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

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

Awesome

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 🧡
