Better Than Aunt Patti's Cornbread Dressing image

My Aunt Patti has been the designated cornbread dressing maker in my family for as long as I can remember. I was unable to attend Thanksgiving at her home this year so I set out on a mission to make my own dressing... it is my favorite dish at our holiday meals. I'm very proud of this recipe. It has turned out great. Aunt Patti would be heartbroken, however. So unfortunately, I'm gonna have to keep this a secret from my family. But I am thrilled to share this recipe with you. But please don't tell Aunt Patti.

Time 1h

Yield 1 9x13 casserole, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine
1 cup celery, chopped fine
1/2 cup onion, chopped
6 cups crumbled cornbread (Two packages of Martha White or Gladiola yellow cornbread mix )
2 teaspoons dried sage or 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Cook cornbread according to package directions. Cook for the minimum time and don't let cornbread brown as much as you normally would. Cut it up into pieces and after cool enough to handle then crumble it up leaving no large chunks and transfer to a very large mixing bowl. (I use the bowl from my Kitchen Aid).
  • In a microwaveable bowl (I use my four cup Pyrex measuring cup) put in your onion and celery and 1 cup of water. Microwave for 5-8 minutes until celery and onion are soft depending on how finely you sliced them. (keep the vegetable broth! it adds a of flavor!) Drop in the butter and let melt.
  • Combine all ingredients in the mixing bowl and mix well until cornbread has absorbed most of the liquids. It will be a little soupy but don't worry about it. Pour into a sprayed 9x13 casserole dish and bake at 425 for 30 minutes.
  • The center might still be a little wiggly but that is ok. It will set up nicely as it cools.
  • I cook in glass Pyrex cookware so if you are using a dark metal 9x13 casserole pan the cooking time might need to be less. I really don't know. Sorry.

I made this recipe vegan by using vegan cornbread and vegetable broth. It was delicious! The dressing was moist and flavorful, and it was the perfect addition to my Thanksgiving dinner.

I'm gluten-free, so I was thrilled to find this recipe. I made it with gluten-free cornbread and it turned out great! It was just as delicious as the traditional version.

I was looking for a healthier cornbread dressing recipe and this one fit the bill perfectly. It's made with whole wheat flour and Greek yogurt, so it's a bit lighter than traditional recipes. It was still delicious, though!

This is the best cornbread dressing I've ever had! It's got all the classic flavors of cornbread, plus the addition of celery, onion, and herbs makes it extra special. I highly recommend this recipe.

This cornbread dressing was a huge success at our Thanksgiving dinner! It had a delicious balance of sweet and savory flavors, and the texture was perfect - moist and fluffy on the inside with a crispy outer crust. I'll definitely be making this agai
