MAMA'S SOUTHERN CORNBREAD DRESSING



Mama's Southern Cornbread Dressing image

I grew up on mama's cornbread dressing. I have come across many cornbread dressing recipes; however, this is still the best. This stuffing has cubes of cornbread with the addition of onions, celery, eggs, and stock. It's the perfect Southern souffle!

Provided by Mary Lynne Williams

Time 1h35m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 cups crumbled cornbread
4 cups cubed stale bread
1 cup butter, melted
2 large onions, chopped
1 ½ cups chopped celery
2 cups turkey broth, or as needed
1 ½ cups chopped cooked turkey
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
¼ cup chopped, cooked turkey giblets
4 large hard-cooked eggs, chopped
4 tablespoons self-rising flour
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage, or to taste
2 large bay leaves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x13-inch baking dishes.
  • Combine cornbread and stale bread cubes in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and celery and cook until transparent, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour onion mixture over the cornbread mixture. Add turkey broth, chopped turkey, soup, giblets, hard-cooked eggs, and flour. Mix so that all the cornbread is wet. Mix in parsley, sage, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Add beaten eggs. Mixture should be "soupy." Pour mixture evenly into the prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and set, 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Use fresh, ripe bananas for the best flavor.
  • If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a few days.
  • Don't overmix the batter, or the bread will be tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool completely before serving.

Conclusion:

Mama's Southern Sweet Bread is a delicious, moist, and flavorful bread that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. It is easy to make and can be made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give this recipe a try.
