Mama’s Cornbread Dressing

Step 1: Sauté Vegetables
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and celery, and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2: Combine Bread and Cornbread
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled toasted bread and cornbread, stirring to mix well.

Step 3: Add Vegetables and Seasonings
Add the sautéed onions and celery along with their cooking liquid to the bowl with the bread mixture. Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, sage, and poultry seasoning, and mix thoroughly.

Step 4: Moisten the Mixture
Using a bulb baster, add enough warm turkey broth to the mixture to make it very moist, but not soupy. Stir in the beaten eggs to bind everything together.

Step 5: Bake
Grease a large baking dish and pour in the dressing mixture, spreading it evenly. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes, until the top is nicely browned.

Conclusion

This Mama’s Cornbread Dressing is golden, moist, and flavorful, with a perfect balance of spices. It’s a family favorite that brings warmth and comfort to the table. Serve it alongside your holiday feast and enjoy every bite!
