Mom's Cornbread Dressing
( Back to Cookbook Main Menu | Back to Side Dishes | Back to Stuffings and Dressings )

 

This was the dressing that we all grew up eating at Thanksgiving.

Sorry if the recipe is a little vague. Mom wasn't always known on writing down her recipes very well.


4 cups cornbread, broken into rough crumbs
3 cups fresh bread crumbs (biscuits preferred)
3 eggs, beaten
1 stick margarine
1 large onion, course chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
3 cup chicken broth
salt and black pepper, to taste
sage, to taste

Saute the chopped onions and celery until they are tender.

Place the cornbread and bread crumbs into a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked celery, onions and half of the chicken broth. Add the chicken broth as needed to keep the mixture moist.

Stir in margarine, eggs, salt, pepper and sage. Mix well, and then turn into a baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour (if seems to be dry, add more broth).
