GRANNY'S CORNBREAD DRESSING
My precious mother didn't have a written recipe for her cornbread dressing.... so, after a few attempts to get it right, I think I am pretty close. She always made the most wonderful chicken and dressing every Thanksgiving of my life, until 1985. Sadly, she passed away on Thanksgiving day 1985 . Our family still gathers to celebrate her life and all that we are thankful for. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we have.

Steps:
- Cook and crumble cornbread and biscuits 2 days ahead and allow to dry out.
- Boil and chop 6 eggs.
- Saute chopped onion and chopped celery in butter until clear.
- (you can boil and chop the eggs and sauté onion and celery the day before serving).
- In extra-large bowl mix everything together (except cornbread & biscuits).
- Mix well and stir in crumbled cornbread and biscuits.
- Butter 2 9 x 13 roasting pans. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Serves 30-35.
- I like to cook until the sides are brown and crusty, so, depending on your oven you may want to bake for 15 -20 minutes longer.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9- by 13- by 2-inch baking dish.
- Place the bread cubes on a large baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly brown, 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
- In a medium skillet, saute the onions in the turkey fat until translucent and softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. In a very large bowl, crumble the Buttermilk Cornbread, toasted bread cubes and cracker crumbs. Add the onions and eggs and toss with a fork until mixed. Add 3 cups of the broth and mix it well, adding more as needed to make a very moist but not soupy dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in the prepared pan until slightly browned, about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into a well-seasoned 9-inch cast-iron skillet and place over medium-high heat. Put the cornmeal in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the cornmeal and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. With a fork, stir in enough of the buttermilk to make a batter that is thick but can be easily poured into the hot skillet. You may not need all 3 cups.
- Carefully pour the batter into the skillet. The oil will come up around the edges. Use the back of a spoon to smooth this over the top of the batter. Continue to heat on the stovetop for 1 minute, and then transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the cornbread until browned on top, about 20 minutes. Immediately turn the cornbread out onto a cooling rack to keep the crust crisp.
GRANNA'S CORNBREAD DRESSING
This an old family recipe from my Dad's mother, Velma. Its a Christmas/Thanksgiving cornbread dressing that absolutely everyone loves, and she would be so flattered knowing. This recipe is a very very moist dressing, despite during prep it seems like it may turn out dry! Temps for cooking will vary on your sea level, so bake based on your experience. You'll need the largest corningware or disposable pan. A 9x13 is way too small, you'll need about 11x16x2.5 This recipe serves up to 24-36 people *ideally* but seems to never been enough for a family of 8 ;) Adding step-by-step pics soon!

Steps:
- Prepare and bake all three cornbread packages according to package directions. Cool completely after.
- Shred the bread, about the size of a quarter, and measure the amount needed, then spread on a bake tray to toast in-oven. No need to brown them. Shouldn't take any longer than 10 minutes at 350°.
- Dice onion, boiled eggs, and celery, then combine in a large mixing bowl. We don't cook down the veggies in our family. This will later be the same bowl you'll add your dry components to. Make this a deep big bowl.
- Break up cornbread and combine with the diced vegetables and eggs; then toasted bread. Toss with your clean hands till it looks even.
- Now pour all of yours broths into the bowl, add your pepper, salt, and sage and stir till the sage is well broken up. Empty the bowl mixture into your baking pan.
- Level the pan out, then place your pan in the oven thats been heated to 350 degrees, and bake for 1 hour. Check toward the end, using the toothpick test. This should slice and move from pan to plate pretty solid, if it looks giggly when you pound the bottom, cook for another 15 minutes.
GRANNY'S SOUTHERN CORNBREAD DRESSING
This is how the last 5 generations of our family have made cornbread dressing. Surprised not to see this on Zar. So here is my family recipe. I was always the official taste tester. Before it went into the oven my mom would give me a bowl of it. I would tell her what seasonings needed adjusting. It became a ritual. LOL The cornbread is baked with the onion and celery in it. Really makes a difference to taste.

Growing up, we didn't have turkey. We had chicken, chopped and baked in my grandmother's dressing. Now we leave out the chicken and keep the cornbread dressing. -Suzanne Mohme, Bastrop, Texas

Steps:
- Sauté celery and onion in butter until soft, and set aside. In a large bowl mix all the ingredients together including the sautéed celery and onion, and mix well. Taste to see if you need to add more broth, salt, butter, or seasonings. Bake in 2 (9x11) greased pans at 325°F for 30 to 40 minutes. Once baked and cooled the dressing can be frozen up to 1 month.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh cornbread, flavorful sausage, and crisp celery and onions will make all the difference in the taste of your dressing.
- Don't overmix the dressing. Overmixing will make the dressing tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the dressing until it is golden brown and crispy on top. This will give the dressing a delicious crust.
- Serve the dressing immediately. Cornbread dressing is best when served hot and fresh.
- Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the dressing for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Cornbread dressing is an essential side dish for any Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a delicious cornbread dressing that will be the hit of your holiday meal.
