Nothing says "welcome home" like the aroma of a fresh baked Southern Cornbread Dressing.

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.
