I’ve always had it with ground meat. Google search is not showing exactly what I’m looking for. Any good easy recipes y’all would like to share?

I’ve never heard of it being made with ground meat. Some people use a little shredded chicken or turkey.

Look for a recipe with breakfast sausage. That's what I've seen used before.

My mom's cornbread dressing recipe, and my great grandma's cornbread recipe.

Mom's Cornbread Dressing

Ingredients:
• 1 pone mamaw’s cornbread
• 1 onion, chopped
• ¾ bellpepper, chopped
• ¾ cup celery, chopped
• 4 eggs, boiled
• 5 chicken wings
• 4 chicken thighs
• 1 box (48 oz.) Chick Broth

Directions:
1. Pull apart cornbread mixture
2. Boil 4 eggs and chop.
3. Boil for 30-45 minutes and debone seasoned wings and thighs (reserve broth)
4. Add eggs and chicken to cornbread mixture
5. Beat with fork, 1 or 2 eggs and combine with cornbread mixture.
6. Add some of the reserved broth and mix well into cornbread mixture, to get the right consistency.
7. Add black pepper
8. Make day ahead and refrigerate.
9. Cook @ 350 for 30 minutes or until browned.

MaMaw's Cornbread Recipe

Ingredients:
• ¾ Cup White self-rising buttermilk cornmeal mix
• 3 Tbspn (generous measure) flour
• 1/8 tsp salt
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup buttermilk
• 1 tsp bacon grease

Directions:
1. Mix dry ingredients then add egg and buttermilk
2. Stir then add about 1/2 cup of water. Batter will be thick.
3. Spray PAM on both sides of cornbread pan.
4. Heat and add 1 tsp of less of bacon grease
5. Pour batter into pan and close and let cook for about 15-20 min. on low to medium flame until it’s firm around the edges (the center may be a tiny bit jiggley).
6. Add grease to the other side and FLIP.
7. Cook for another 15 minutes or until brown.

You'll need a good cornbread pan/skillet/flipper too. Either cast iron or magnalite. Something heavy that evenly distributes heat.

Cornbread Dressing with Giblet Gravy

Ingredients:
Cornbread(recipe below)
Turkey stock(recipe below)
1 medium/large onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1/2 bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced(or use 1/4 t garlic powder)
2 green onions, diced
4 T. fresh parsley, minced
1/2 sleeve of saltine crackers, crushed
4 large eggs, beaten
2 eggs, boiled and peeled, then diced
1 t each, dried thyme, oregano, sage and basil
salt, black and red pepper to taste, or Tony Chachere's
turkey giblets

Method:
Cornbread: I usually make it a day ahead. Mix 3 cups self rising corn meal, 3 eggs, 3 T sugar, 9 T oil together in mixing bowl .Add milk or buttermilk until the batter pours off a spoon easily. Pour into a greased, pre heated iron skillet and bake at 425 for about 20 minutes, until the top is slightly golden. Pour out onto a plate and cool. Once cooled, crumble it well with your fingers.

Dressing: Put the giblets (neck, gizzard, and liver) in a boiler with 2 T of oil. Brown them well. Then cover with several (4 maybe) quarts of water, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for at least an hour or more. I will use this time to boil the 2 eggs a need later for the gravy. Boil and cool them, then peel them and dice. Set aside.
Take the diced vegetables and sauté them in a few T of oil (2 or 3) until the onions are clear. Pour this into the cornbread crumbs. Add the crushed crackers, thyme, basil, oregano, green onions and parsley. Add stock until the mixture is just a little more loose than cornbread batter. Save 3 cups of stock for the gravy. Now, season to taste with salt and pepper, black and red. You can cheat by using Tony Chachere's, and I usually do...when it taste salty enough to you, it should be right. Then, add the 4 beaten eggs and mix well. At this time, reserve 1 cup of the mixture to use in your gravy. Pour the rest in a baking dish and pop in a preheated 400 degree oven. Bake 45 minutes, more or less, until it's golden brown on top and set well. Try not to overcook and dry it out. Cover with foil when it's done if you aren't ready to serve.
Gravy: Take the meat off the neck and dice it fine with the gizzard and liver. Add the stock, meat, diced boiled eggs, and the cup of dressing mix together and heat to a simmer. Taste for salt and pepper and re-season to your taste. That's it. Ya'll have a great holiday."
