I agree 100% with NO SAGE in dressin'. Also, I prefer only yellow cornbread as my base. No crackers, white bread, or white cornbread, please. Yes, I am from the south!

This is just the way our dressing was when I was growing up. We put chopped boiled eggs and no sage, please no sage! Thank you, Tricia

Great recipe! As always when making a recipe, I add or do not add ingredients that may be optional. If you like sage, add it! I added ground up corn chips and a bit more broth and omitted the boiled eggs. I also baked longer for a better texture. It was delicious and I will be making again for Thanksgiving tomorrow.

I have to first address the negative comments regarding the lack of sage. There are SOME people (our family in particular and possibly Trisha's as well that don't prefer sage in their dressing. My husband and I were raised by parents probably as old as Grandma Lizzie and they used very little IF ANY sage in their cornbread dressing at all. Maybe it is a Southern thing. No sage was WHAT WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR since we married. both our mothers have long passed and we were not as smart as Trisha to get their recipes for cornbread dressing w/o sage before they passed. I think if you tried the recipe & didn't like it for the sage, you could have rated it otherwise without the sage on how the rest of the recipe was. I tried it, thought it was dry, but figure I can ADD MORE LIQUID-cooking is by individual taste. I think Trisha takes this into account when she lovingly shares her family recipes with us.

Sorry Trisha. This is NOT a good dressing recipe. The missing ingredients are: celery, sage and (or poultry seasoning, 2 beaten eggs, and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. I've never heard of putting hard boiled eggs in dressing. Without the sage or poultry seasoning, it wouldn't even taste like dressing. I like most of your recipes but this one is terrible!

Did a trial run with this Saturday. Most of it ended up in the trash. At 15 minutes bake time, it was cool and raw-ish. It needs 30 to 45-until its crispy on top. It was bland, dry. The boiled eggs didn't add much texture or flavor. This needs fat, and more than just 2 tbsp. I'd saute 1/2 cup of onions AND 1/2 cup of celery in 1STICK of butter or margarine. Add either sage or poultry seasoning to the mix, plus salt and pepper. A finely chopped apple would help, too. Heck-throw in some dried cranberries. The stock MUST be hot or it won't absorb into the bread. I guess I need to find a better cornbread stuffing recipe.
