This recipe is fantastic. The cornbread is what really brings it all together. I did make one change after reading the comments about it being a bit dry and watching the video. I didn't drain the oysters and just poured in all of the liquor too. It really helps to bring out the oyster flavor and adds just the right amount of moistness.

The recipe was easy enough, but the taste was none existant. The cornbread was over powering. It was so dry and heavy that you could have added a half gallon of broth and I don't think it would have made a difference. It would be a great as a regular bread dressing with no cornbread. Sorry, but I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I just tried this but added bacon (sauteed til crispy and added, cooled, with the onion/celery mix...threw a few cloves of garlic into that by the way...I also added a PINCH of cloves, 1/2 tsp each thyme & parsley. Last thing, I doubled the salt because I don't have poultry seasoning. OMG it is FANTASTIC. I want to eat it all haha!! This is the only time I will ever repeat my version of this recipe...consider yourself lucky if you're reading and trying this! (PS. I used french bread and made sure that it and the corn bread were dried well. Enjoy!
