GREAT GRANDMA'S DRESSING!



Great Grandma's Dressing! image

This is my great grandma's recipe! It is a very moist dressing. It is also a little more on the plain side, because it doesn't have sage, poultry seasoning, or thyme. But this is what I grew up eating, and I just love it! Easy to make in larger quantities, by double or tripling the recipe!

Provided by Debbie Sue

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 loaf of good bakery bread
1 1/2 stick butter
1 large onion, cut very small
1 1/2 c celery, cut very small
1 medium to large apple, (gala or red delicious ) cored, peeled, and chopped
2 to 3 large eggs
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Stale the slices of bakery bread. I let them air dry on baking sheets, until they are just right.
  • 2. In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter. Add the onion, celery and apple. Simmer until the onion and celery is very soft, and the apple has pretty much cooked away. Set aside.
  • 3. Slice at a time, lightly dip staled bread into a large bowl of water. Don't let it get soggy, squeeze out excess water, and tear bread into small pieces.
  • 4. After you have completed dipping and tearing the bread, pour butter mixture over the torn bread, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 5. I usually end up using 3 beaten eggs. Add them now, and mix well.
  • 6. Now you are ready to stuff your bird, or cook in a baking dish. This year I cooked it in the crock pot!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have time to make the dressing ahead of time, you can make it the day before and store it in the refrigerator.
  • When making the dressing, be sure to whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined.
  • If you want a thicker dressing, you can add more flour or cornstarch.
  • If you want a thinner dressing, you can add more broth or milk.
  • Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the dressing warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Great-Grandma's Dressing is a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it thick or thin, savory or sweet, this dressing is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy side dish, give Great-Grandma's Dressing a try. You won't be disappointed!
