Old Fashion Corn Bread Dressing Recipe

11/14/11

Thanksgiving is just another day to me if I don’t have my Corn Bread Dressing. Everyone has their own special recipe for dressing. I Like to keep in nice and simple. This recipe has no meat in it, but you can add if you want. Feel free to adjust this recipe to your taste buds! Want to turn this into a Christmas Dressing? I’d add a can of diced and chopped water chestnuts ( drain the liquid from the can!). Enjoy this dressing with your roast turkey, mashed potatoes, and and collard greens.

Check out the video tutorial.

      Hi Elena! I actually have another recipes for ” stuffing” and I used cream of chicken. I like both, but this one is my favorite. The chicken broth and sage are a perfect match for this dressing.

        How much cornbread did you use? I need enough dressing for 12 people. Should I double this recipe?

          You will need a 9X13 pan of cornbread.

    This is my 1st yr cooking Thanksgiving Dinner and I will be using this recipe. I wanted to know what is the difference between stuffing and dressing? Is one moister than the other or have more ingredient?

      Good afternoon Brittany,
      The difference between dressing and stuffing has little to do with the ingredients. Stuffing is stuffed inside the cavity of the bird( chicken, turkey). Dressing is served on the side. Just remember stuffing for stuffed, dressing on the side 🙂 . I hope this helps. Please let me know how your dinner turns out. I’M EXCITED FOR YOU! XOXOX

    I am all the way over in Kenya. Second year here for Thanksgiving. Your recipe is a life saver. Just took it out the oven. Doesn’t look as good as your’s but, still better than anything I’ll ever made before. Thank you for sharing these great recipes with the world! Literally! Can’t wait to dig in.

    Happy Thanksgiving 🙂

    Asante Sana – (thank you very much!)

    Ok so I just made this as a trial thanksgiving meal and I followed the recipe…. or so I thought,after everything was mixed up,it looked and smelled like dressing so I proudly put it in the oven,took it out ever so happily.This is when I saw the ten crackers I had set aside!!.I couldn’t believe I for to add the crackers!lol-See this is why I do trial meals because my mind is bound to forget something trying to remember EVERYTHING .Its so weird though because even without the crackers,it was so good but I recommend following this recipe to the T!,crackers&all.Thanks again Rosie for the lovely recipes,with steps!:)
