MAMA'S SOUTHERN CORNBREAD DRESSING



Mama's Southern Cornbread Dressing image

I grew up on mama's cornbread dressing. I have come across many cornbread dressing recipes; however, this is still the best. This stuffing has cubes of cornbread with the addition of onions, celery, eggs, and stock. It's the perfect Southern souffle!

Provided by Mary Lynne Williams

8 cups crumbled cornbread
4 cups cubed stale bread

4 tablespoons self-rising flour
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage, or to taste
2 large bay leaves

Mix in parsley, sage, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Add beaten eggs. Mixture should be "soupy." Pour mixture evenly into the prepared pans.

MAMA'S COLESLAW! FROM SWEET TEA & CORNBREAD

Make and share this Mama's Coleslaw! from Sweet Tea & Cornbread recipe from Food.com.

Provided by SB61287

Categories     Low Protein

Time 18m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups cabbage, shredded (can use a bag of coleslaw mix from the produce section)
1 red apple, unpeeled and diced small (optional)
1/2 cup carrot, shredded
1/4 cup sweet onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vinegar (apple cider vinegar or white vinegar either one works)
1 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons honey mustard (prepared dressing or just the prepared honey mustard dipping sauce or sandwich spread)
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard

Steps:

  • Mix cabbage, apple, carrot and onion in a large mixing bowl. The apple is optional, but I would advise trying it, it makes the coleslaw so much better. Dice the apple into a bowl of salted, warm water first and let it sit for a minute or two, then drain. This keeps it from turning brown and the slaw can be kept for two to three days in the refrigerator if you have leftovers.
  • For the dressing, combine the sugar, water and vinegar and microwave for about 3 minutes or cook over medium heat in a saucepan until it comes to a boil and boil for a minute or two. Set aside and cool completely. You can place it in the refrigerator to cool it faster.
  • Once cool, stir in the mayonnaise, the honey mustard and the yellow mustard. Pour the dressing mixture over the shredded cabbage and other ingredients and mix well. This is best if you refrigerate for at least 2 hours for the flavors to blend. Stir again right before serving.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Shred the cabbage finely for a more delicate texture.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the cabbage by hand.
  • Taste the dressing before adding it to the cabbage and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • For a creamier dressing, use mayonnaise instead of sour cream.
  • For a tangier dressing, add a squeeze of lemon juice or vinegar.
  • For a sweeter dressing, add a teaspoon of sugar or honey.
  • If you are making the dressing ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • The coleslaw can be served immediately or chilled for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Mama's coleslaw is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. With its creamy, tangy dressing and fresh, crunchy cabbage, this coleslaw is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you are looking for a delicious and refreshing side dish, give Mama's coleslaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
