Yield 1 large pan

Number Of Ingredients 22

Ingredients

Cornbread:
¾ cup self rising meal
¾ cup self rising flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
lots of whole buttermilk
½ stick of butter
(I won't lie. Sometimes I cheat and use buttermilk cornbread mix.)
Dressing:
Boil a chicken with celery then debone
1 stick of butter
Salt & pepper
Sage
1 large onion
1 bell pepper
3 stalks of celery
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
3 boiled eggs, cut in pieces
4 raw eggs
3-4 buttermilk biscuits (homemade or Mary B's)
Cooked and crumbled cornbread (from above)
Chicken Broth from boiled chicken until it become soupy

Steps:

Obviously, cook the cornbread and biscuits first, then crumble. Add chicken and remaining ingredients. I usually mix this in a huge gumbo pot, then pour it into the pan, simply because it's easier to mix and the largest bowl I have isn't big enough to hold it. Bake it at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes to an hour. Don't let it get to brown around the edges or too dry in the center.

Tips:

Use fresh cornbread: Dried cornbread will result in a dry dressing. Fresh cornbread will give your dressing a moist and flavorful texture.
Don't overmix the dressing: Overmixing will make the dressing dense and tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Season to taste: Be sure to taste the dressing before baking and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
Bake until golden brown: The dressing is done baking when it is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the dressing rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to set.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk cornbread dressing is a classic Southern dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its moist and flavorful texture, this dressing is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
