Nothing says "welcome home" like the aroma of a fresh baked Southern Cornbread Dressing. In the South you can guarantee there will be dressing on the table (no stuffing down here!) and one of the most popular dressings is cornbread. We've developed a special Cornbread Crumble recipe specifically for this Southern Cornbread Dressing. Our cornbread is a little-bit sweet, but it blends perfectly with the celery, onions, and sage.

CORNBREAD DRESSING (SOUTHERN W/SAGE, AKA HOLY GRAIL DRESSING)



Cornbread Dressing (Southern W/Sage, Aka Holy Grail Dressing) image

For me, and particularly from the perspective of a Southerner, dressing is one of those traditional dishes which becomes dog-eared in your life's history. Most folks I know still prefer the dressing or stuffing recipe which arcs back to their childhood, and I am no exception. I was raised by my grandmother, and after her passing, I became obsessed with trying to duplicate the dressing she made which I loved so very much. After innumerable attempts, and a search that took roughly 10 years and FAR too much experimentation on my part (hence the nickname, "Holy Grail Dressing"), the recipe below produces a dish that is (REALLY) always moist and full of flavor. (I love sage and usually add more--3 to 4 TABLESPOONS ;o], but the quantity listed below should be "safe" for those who aren't as addicted to sage as I am. I also bump up the other spices a bit a well, but didn't want to freak anybody out so am posting the basic measurements.)

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 cups celery & leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 teaspoons sage
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
5 cups soft breadcrumbs
5 cups crumbled cornbread
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350º.
  • Melt margarine in skillet & saute onion & celery.
  • Add salt, pepper, sage, thyme, & poultry seasoning to the cooked onions & celery--I usually will mix the spices together in a separate container before adding to the vegetables.
  • In large bowl (I use the largest stainless steel bowl I own) combine bread crumbs, cornbread.
  • In smaller bowl, blend soup, water, eggs, & vinegar.
  • Add celery & onions to bread mixture, toss lightly, then add liquid mixture & blend thoroughly.
  • Turn into 9x13 baking dish and bake @ 350º for an hour. (Can also be used as a stuffing.).
  • If desired, dressing may be prepared ahead of time, baked 30 minutes, cooled and frozen, then baked about 45 minutes when ready to serve.
  • NOTE: Mama also stuffed the bird with hers--it was wonderful--but my dressing needs are fully satisfied baking it separately.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the dressing, or it will become dense and dry.
  • If you're using a store-bought cornbread mix, be sure to add some extra seasonings, such as sage, thyme, and black pepper.
  • For a richer flavor, use chicken or turkey stock instead of water.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. For example, you could add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even sausage to the dressing.
