Tips:

Use fresh cornbread: Stale cornbread will make your dressing dry and crumbly. If you don't have fresh cornbread, you can make it a day or two ahead of time and store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
Don't overcook the dressing: Overcooked dressing will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is heated through, about 30 minutes.
Season the dressing to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add diced onion, celery, or carrots for extra flavor.
Serve the dressing warm: Cornbread dressing is best served warm. You can make it ahead of time and reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.

Conclusion:

Cornbread dressing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with turkey, chicken, or pork. It is also a great way to use up leftover cornbread. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious cornbread dressing that will be a hit with your family and friends.
