This dressing is amazing! I made it for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. It's so moist and flavorful, and the cornbread adds a nice sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this dressing several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's so delicious. I usually add a little bit of extra sage and thyme, and sometimes I'll add some chopped pecans or walnuts.
