MAMA'S SOUTHERN STYLE CORNBREAD DRESSING
This was something I always looked forward to during the holidays. I don't know why Mama only made it, then! I've broken that tradition by making it anytime I get hungry for it. However, when it's stuffed inside of the turkey, it's even better! I hope you enjoy! :)

Steps:
- Prepare cornbread as package directs. I use a Mexican Cornbread mix. Don't use one that contains sugar.
- When your cornbread has cooled, break it and the toast into a large bowl.
- Sauté onions, celery, and green bell pepper, optional red bell pepper, and garlic in butter until onions are transparent.
- Add the shredded chicken and the sautéed veggies into the cornbread mixture. Use your hands to really mix it up.
- Add poultry seasoning and cayenne pepper, mixing well.
- Add in the broth a little at a time. Add in just enough to make it thick and somewhat soupy. Mix, well.
- Give it a taste. It should taste exactly the way you want your dressing to taste. If it needs more spices add them here.
- When you are content with the taste, stir in the eggs.
- Pour into a buttered 9 X 13 casserole dish.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until set.

Tips:
- Use stale cornbread. Stale cornbread is less likely to crumble when mixed with the other ingredients, and it will also help to absorb the flavors of the dressing.
- Don't overmix the dressing. Overmixing will make the dressing dense and tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices. This will give the dressing more flavor. Some good options include sage, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
- Don't skimp on the butter. Butter adds richness and flavor to the dressing. Use at least 1/2 cup of butter, and more if you like.
- Bake the dressing until it is golden brown. This will give it a crispy crust and a delicious flavor.
Conclusion:
Cornbread dressing is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a cornbread dressing that will be the star of your next meal.
