Ingredients

  • Cornbread, recipe follows
  • 7 slices oven-dried white bread
  • 1 sleeve saltine crackers
  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups celery, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 7 cups chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sage (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning (optional)
  • 5 eggs, beaten

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine crumbled cornbread, dried white bread slices, and saltines; set aside.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and cook until transparent, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Pour the vegetable mixture over cornbread mixture. Add the stock, mix well, taste, and add salt, pepper to taste, sage, and poultry seasoning. Add beaten eggs and mix well. Reserve 2 heaping tablespoons of this mixture for the giblet gravy. Pour mixture into a greased pan and bake until dressing is cooked through, about 45 minutes. Serve with turkey as a side dish.

Cornbread:

  • 1 cup self-rising cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup self-rising flour
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour batter into a greased shallow baking dish. Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

To serve, cut into desired squares and serve with butter.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings

    Poultry Seasoning

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I agree that this is a wonderful recipe. For those who don't know, Poultry Seasoning comes in a jar, like thyme, sage, etc.... Paula encompassed all the best things about stuffing in this particular recipe.Read more

    Delicious Stuffing!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I have used this recipe for many years with a couple of exceptions...I add some green bell pepper with my celery and onions,... and I also agree with other reviewers and add a couple cans of cream of celery, cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup in some combination. It makes the stuffing a little fluffier and richer. Paula is my GIRL! Read more

    Best Dressing ever!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is the receipe I grew up eating, and have made for my family. I too use cream of celery, cream of mushroom and cream of... chicken soup. I also mix in some chopped boiled eggs as well as raw eggs before baking. I make a large roasting pan full so I cover it after it browns with foil.Read more

    The BEST Southern Style Stuffing EVER!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I must admit that I've used Paulas' recipe for over two years now and it is like everyone else is saying. No leftovers! My... grandmother always made a 'bread' dressing and a 'sage & cornbread' dressing having grown up in Abbeville LA. I loved the sage while the bread dressing was the popular one. The first year I made this it was like being back in Port Arthur at my Grandmothers. Easy, delicious and a crowd pleaser! The only thing I changed - I add dried sage, onion & garlic powder to my cornbread mix before I bake it. Thanks for sharing it Paula.Read more
