Mama Sues Cornbread Dressing Recipes

MAMA'S SOUTHERN CORNBREAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x13-inch baking dishes.
• Combine cornbread and stale bread cubes in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and celery and cook until transparent, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Pour onion mixture over the cornbread mixture. Add turkey broth, chopped turkey, soup, giblets, hard-cooked eggs, and flour. Mix so that all the cornbread is wet. Mix in parsley, sage, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Add beaten eggs. Mixture should be "soupy." Pour mixture evenly into the prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and set, 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes.

MAMA'S CORNBREAD DRESSING

Steps:

• 1. Bring chicken stock and Lipton onion soup mix to a boil. Put the cornbread dressing into a large bowl. Pour the heated stock over the dressing, and combine well.
• 2. Place dressing in a large baking dish and bake at 350 degrees until hot (15-20 minutes). May cover with foil to keep from drying out. If too dry, add more chicken stock.
• 3. Mama never stuffed her turkey - we just ate the dressing on the side with lots of gravy. You could use any turkey stock you may have for this dressing, but she always saved her turkey stock to make the turkey gravy.

MAMA'S SOUTHERN STYLE CORNBREAD DRESSING

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.
