CORNBREAD DRESSING
This is my favorite Cornbread Dressing I use for special holidays. I make my own white bread using my bread machine and my own Skillet Cornbread to use in this recipe. If you prepare the bread ahead of time, you can freeze them until ready to use. I really like this dressing. It is easy to do and has a great flavor. I like to add fresh mushrooms to the mix. Happy Holidays!

Tips:
- Use fresh cornbread and stale bread: This will give the dressing the best texture and flavor.
- Choose your seasonings carefully: The seasonings you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dressing. Be sure to use a variety of herbs and spices to create a complex flavor profile.
- Don't overstuff the dressing: The dressing should be moist, but not soggy. If you overstuff it, it will be too dense and heavy.
- Cook the dressing until it is golden brown: This will give it a crispy crust and a delicious flavor.
- Serve the dressing warm: The dressing is best served warm, right out of the oven. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it before serving.
