Eva Claiborne's Hen and Dressing image

Got this off of the Taste of Home Website last year. This is some awesome dressing! The original poster said this recipe had been in her family for over 70 years! I made this and brought it over to my brother's house for Thanksgiving. Everyone raved! It's a bit of work, but oh so worth it! I did it in stages. The day before, I cheated and baked some Pillsbury biscuits and 2 pans of Jiffy cornbread. I also used chicken parts instead of a whole bird, and made the broth the day before also. This is a true "Southern" dressing! Prep time does not include time for biscuits or cornbread. Note: Don't be alarmed at how thin this appears before it bakes. All the moisture will be absorbed by the cornbread and biscuits. Just make sure you stir frequently while it bakes, to ensure the moisture gets evenly distruted into the dry ingredients.
