THE BEST CORNBREAD DRESSING
Complete your Thanksgiving spread with our favorite cornbread dressing. To make it truly perfect, we opted to make the cornbread from scratch using stone-ground cornmeal, buttermilk and just the right amount of sugar. The result is a perfect base that's buttery and moist. Classic holiday flavors like onion and celery, plus fresh sage, thyme and parsley hit all the right notes.

Steps:
- For the cornbread: preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish generously with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl until combined.
- Put the butter in a 4-cup liquid measuring cup or a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until completely melted, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool slightly, then whisk in the buttermilk, whole milk and eggs until smooth.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until just combined with no lumps remaining. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish. Bake until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (The cornbread can be made one day in advance. After cooling completely, wrap the pan tightly with plastic wrap and store at room temperature.)
- Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
- Once the cornbread is completely cool, run a small offset spatula around the edges of the pan, then invert it onto a cutting board and cut into 1-inch cubes. Transfer to 2 rimmed baking sheets and spread into an even layer. Bake, rotating the trays halfway through, until the cornbread cubes are crisp at the edges and almost completely dried out, about 40 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool completely. (This step can be done up to 24 hours in advance. Store the cooled cornbread cubes in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag until ready to use.)
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish generously with butter.
- For the dressing: melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, sage, thyme and poultry seasoning and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes more. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Add the cornbread cubes, chicken broth and eggs to the bowl and toss gently until the vegetables are evenly dispersed and the bread is very moist (do not overwork or the cornbread will fall apart). Transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake until warmed through, about 30 minutes. Uncover, then return to the oven and bake until lightly browned and crisp at the edges, about 20 minutes more. Let sit for 10 minutes, then top with chopped parsley and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9- by 13- by 2-inch baking dish.
- Place the bread cubes on a large baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly brown, 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
- In a medium skillet, saute the onions in the turkey fat until translucent and softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. In a very large bowl, crumble the Buttermilk Cornbread, toasted bread cubes and cracker crumbs. Add the onions and eggs and toss with a fork until mixed. Add 3 cups of the broth and mix it well, adding more as needed to make a very moist but not soupy dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in the prepared pan until slightly browned, about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into a well-seasoned 9-inch cast-iron skillet and place over medium-high heat. Put the cornmeal in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the cornmeal and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. With a fork, stir in enough of the buttermilk to make a batter that is thick but can be easily poured into the hot skillet. You may not need all 3 cups.
- Carefully pour the batter into the skillet. The oil will come up around the edges. Use the back of a spoon to smooth this over the top of the batter. Continue to heat on the stovetop for 1 minute, and then transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the cornbread until browned on top, about 20 minutes. Immediately turn the cornbread out onto a cooling rack to keep the crust crisp.
GIGI'S CORNBREAD DRESSING
This is how we have made dressing in my family for ever.. the new addition is the bag or box of stuffing mix. We also make it a little wetter than we used to. The cooking time is a little off due to the fact that you can make the cornbread ahead of time and freeze it so you don't have so much to do on the big turkey day. I...

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 450 degrees f. Saute in a small amount of oil the onion and celery. Set aside then put two 8 or 9 inch cast iron pans in the oven to get hot.
- 2. Make the corn bread with the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and butter milk. Stir in the onions and celery, along with black pepper, sage or poultry seasoning and parsley if using. (you can also add bell peppers if your family likes them, just saute with onions and celery) Add 2 tsp oil to each skillet and pour in cornbread. bake at 450 for 20 min. Take out of pan immediately so it does not sweat in the pan.
- 3. When it's done and cooled; crumble or cube and put in a large mixing bowl. Add cubed or torn pieces of cooked canned biscuits. Add the two bags or boxes of dressing mix.
- 4. Warm two cans of chicken broth or a mixture of pan drippings from your bird, and pour into the dressing mixture. You may need more or less, depending on your taste. We like ours pretty wet, sort of like creamy rice pudding. It will dry out some in the oven as you bake it. We use a potato masher to mix, but if you like it chunky then just stir in with a spoon. You want it to soak up the broth really good so each piece has a chicken-y flavor. Or vegetable broth if you are a vegetarian. Taste the "raw" dressing to make sure it has enough salt and pepper. You may need to add more sage or poultry seasoning to your taste Bake for 45 to 60 min at about 350 until the tip is browned and the dressing is "set"
- 5. Some people mix in a couple of raw eggs into the mix before baking to make it slice-able. We have also added in chopped boiled eggs, or pecans. If you are adventurous then try butternut squash, cranberries, oysters. you could really add anything to it. It makes a lot but its great to have in the freezer to pull out in February for a night when you are in a hurry.. throw in some chicken to bake and have with the heated up dressing.

Steps:
- Spread the Skillet Cornbread and French bread cubes out on 2 baking sheets and let them dry for about 24 hours until totally crisp. Once dry, transfer the cubes to a large mixing bowl and toss to mix them up a bit.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Warm up a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the butter. When it's melted, add the celery, carrots and onions, and cook for a few minutes until the onions are almost translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the rosemary, thyme, sage and turmeric. Gradually ladle the broth mixture into the bread, tossing lightly as you go. Keep gradually adding the broth mixture, tasting as you go and adding more seasoning and herbs if needed. Add salt carefully. You don't want to over salt your stuffing. If the mixture is not quite moist enough, add a bit more chicken broth and stir. Stir in the fresh parsley.
- Place the dressing in a rectangular baking dish and bake until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the shortening in a cast-iron skillet. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk and egg until fully combined. Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring until well combined. Melt the remaining 1/4 cup melted shortening and add to the batter, stirring constantly. Pour into the hot skillet, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Place in the oven and bake until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.

Cool on the baking sheet before using.
CORNBREAD DRESSING
This is my favorite Cornbread Dressing I use for special holidays. I make my own white bread using my bread machine and my own Skillet Cornbread to use in this recipe. If you prepare the bread ahead of time, you can freeze them until ready to use. I really like this dressing. It is easy to do and has a great flavor. I like to add fresh mushrooms to the mix. Happy Holidays!

Me and a dear friend of mine who is no longer with us, made this dressing for 17 years at Thanksgiving. I still make it and it brings back wonderful memories of her and I laughing, chopping, mixing and tasting. This is a terrific recipe. Hope you make this recipe and make your own memories.
