• 6. Make sure that all of the cornbread is soaked with the chicken broth. Add more chicken broth or hot water if needed. This mixture should be thick and wet but not too runny (a little thicker than the cornbread was before you baked it).
• 7. Taste the dressing and adjust any seasoning as needed. (Be careful, the sage and poultry seasoning are a little salty.)
• 8. Slightly beat the eggs in a small bowl and add to the cornbread mixture. Stir the mixture until the egg is completely combined.

CORNBREAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter; add the onions and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring often, until light golden, about 6 to 8 minutes and remove from the pan to a small plate. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the water, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet and allowing the water to simmer just a couple of minutes to infuse in the onion flavor. Remove from the heat.
• Put the cornbread in a large mixing bowl. Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a small pan over medium heat and let it bubble until the milk solids to start to turn golden. Add the sage leaves and briefly fry until beginning to crisp, about 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon, remove sage and put on top of cornbread to drain and crisp. Remove the butter from the heat. Add the eggs and cooked onions to the cornbread and pour the browned butter over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the onion infused water, a tablespoon at a time, gently folding, until cornbread is evenly moistened but not soggy. Pour the dressing into a 9 by 11-inch baking dish and bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown in color and the dressing is set in the middle, about 30 minutes.

MOM'S TRADITIONAL SOUTHERN CORNBREAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425. In a 10-inch cast iron (or a 9-inch cake pan if you don't have a cast iron, melt 2 Tb of bacon drippings, or butter if you're substituting, in the preheated oven for 5 minutes until completely melted. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Combine the first five ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine well. Ditch the whisk and switch to a spatula to combine with the liquid to avoid overmixing. Overmixing will give you a tough cornbread. Mix 2 C of buttermilk and 2 eggs, breaking up the eggs in a separate small bowl before adding to the mix. Stir until combined without overmixing.
• Last, add the melted bacon drippings or butter. Pour back into the prepared cast iron and back for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Once cooled, break up the cornbread into rough chunks and spread out onto a baking sheet to dry out for a minimum of 8 hours or preferably overnight. The more dry the cornbread, the more flavors it will soak up.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Melt 1/2 C butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green onions, onion, and celery. Cook until tender or about 5 minutes. Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl and beat slightly.
• Add the cornbread and sautéed veggies to a large mixing bowl. Mix to combine. Add the eggs, stuffing mix, and chicken broth and mix until combined. The amount of chicken broth will depend on your personal preference. Check out the post content above for more on this topic.
• Pour into a 9" x 13" baking pan. Bake for 50 minutes or until lightly browned.

CORNBREAD AND BACON STUFFING (DRESSING)B

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Saute the onions and celery in the bacon drippings, until soft but not browned.
• Let cool slightly.
• Toss the cornbread, bread, bacon, poultry seasoning, parsley, salt and pepper until mixed well.
• Add the cooked celery and onions and toss to mix well.
• Add the eggs and 1 cup of the chicken broth and stir to moisten, adding as much broth as needed.
• (Everytime is going to be different.) This is a personal taste decision.
• I like my dressing moist so I add broth until I have a very wet mixture.
• Any type pan will work for baking.
• I generally use a 8 x 8 disposable pan, but if I am making a double batch I use a 9 x 13 pan.
• Bake for 30 min, uncovered, or until golden on top.
• This is enough to stuff an 8 to 10 lb turkey, if you so desired.
• **NOTE**I have made this several times for vegetarian dinners, omitting the bacon, drippings and chicken broth and substituting with either butter, or olive oil and vegetable broth with great success.
• ALSO--If you save leftover pieces of cornbread/bread heels in a ziploc bag in your freezer, you will have half the work already done when your ready to make this.
• (Just a tip my grandma told me that works.).
