zoe - cornbread dressing
This is my mom's dressing recipe. It's simple but freaking tasty. Thanksgiving just ain't Thanksgiving without it.
Ingredients
1 recipe cornbread**
1 cup chopped celery
2 sticks butter, melted
1 (14-ounce) can chicken broth
1 onion, diced
White bread or biscuits*
1 or 2 eggs
Sage
Salt & Pepper
Poultry Seasoning
Preparation
In a large bowl, crumble cooled cornbread and white bread. In a
saucepan, melt 1 stick of of butter and cook onion and celery until
translucent. Add butter and vegetables to bread mixture in bowl. Add
egg(s) and the other stick of melted butter. Mix well. Add approximately 1
teaspoon salt and pepper. Add sage and poultry seasoning to taste. Mix well. Pour into greased 2 quart casserole dish. Refigerate until ready to
bake. Bake at 375 until brown on top, approximately 30-45 minutes.
Be careful not to cook too long, or dressing will dry out.
*Note: For the white bread, cooking 1 package of Grands biscuits works
well. If you can, bake them one day ahead and let them sit out overnight to dry out a bit (or let the white bread dry out a little). Otherwise just
let the biscuits cool before crumbling them. Dressing can be cooked
at 400 if necessary, but watch it closely to avoid drying it out.
