Cornbread Dressing Recipes

I usually don't add meat, but you can add picked chicken or turkey if you want. Saute all trinity(no garlic) add 1/2 cornbread(not sweet) and 1/2 Pepperidge Farm Herb dressing. Your seasonings are in the PF. Add chicken broth or stock til your liking and bake

My mother has always done cornbread and dried out biscuits (CFA or Popeye's). Saute onion and celery in a ton of butter. Mix with the dried out cornbread and biscuits. Add a bunch of poultry seasoning and sage (I say a bunch, but that's because there really can't be too much for me), salt and pepper. Taste for seasoning. Then add egg and chicken broth until you get the right consistency. Refrigerate overnight then bake at 350 until it's no longer soupy. This is North Miss/North LA cornbread dressing, so it's probably too basic for the SoLa crowd.

Yeah my mom has never used enough for me. The recipe she gave me uses a heaping tsp each like you. I always add a bit more. I guess I didn't realize it intensified.

My grandmother made the cornbread dressing we consider the standard, and she had no recipe. My mom pointedly watched her one year and measured/noted all the ingredients and the process. She has, in turn, changed things and it has only improved.

Both said the dressing was only as good as the cornbread. They both used stone ground cornmeal and the bread is not sweet AT ALL. My mom does extra with her stock -- roasting the bones, etc before boiling. Mom also insists that freezing the cornbread before making the dressing makes for a better, less packy texture. Lots of green onion as well as regular onion, and lots of sage. She also has it sit overnight before baking once it is mixed. The only meat in it comes from the can of chicken and rice soup that my grandmother inexplicably added.

I do not hope to ever taste any better, but nothing is more subjective!

Don’t use Jiffy. It’s too sweet.

Cook some jalapeños in butter and add in. Dice up some spicy tamales and mix in.

This is my favorite dressing.

I like jiffy. The cornbread dressing recipe we use has jiffy in it. Among other things it has homemade chicken stock and a deboned chicken that was used to make the stock.

Always a crowd pleaser. The sweet cornbread works well with the well seasoned chicken stock.

A CPA long ago gave me recipe for cornbread dressing that everyone loves.
I have since lost the recipe but still throw it together. I always thought it was crazy that it uses rice a roni chicken flavoring packets.

Yellow or sweet onion
