correction... *** it doesn't really compare to cornbread.*** My husband's mother is from up north and the only "cornbread" he had growing up was Jiffy... When we got married and I started making him cornbread, he raved about it. Now, every time I make it he gets so excited. He even requests it at random times. It's cute. Anyway, I think real cornbread is a key ingredient. I would be glad to share my recipe if anyone is interested.

I had to doctor up this recipe a bit as we have a family member with some food allergies. I used Jiffy cornbread mix (with egg beaters and soymilk, Smart Balance instead of the butter in the main recipe, as well as egg beaters for the eggs in the main recipe. The dressing was absolutely DELICIOUS and received rave reviews from everyone at the table. They even asked for it to be repeated from now on. The benefits of changing the butter and egg content allowed us to take the fat content down as well. It was definitely a hit and will be made time and time again!

Love this recipe. Third Thanksgiving in a row that I've used it. I have found that it is best to cute down on the stock. I used between 5-6 cups as opposed to the 7. The stuffing was still plenty moist. I cheated and used a box of Jiffy Cornbread mix which worked out just fine. This is such an easy recipe and everyone loves it.

I also used Jiffy Cornbread mix (sorry Paula and it was great. I used three boxes of mix, made it the night before and crumbled and toasted it for 15 minutes on 350 before making the dressing. I also used 8 slices of white bread in addition to the saltines. I chopped my seasoning a little more finely than Paula and also added the parsley to the saute pot. I used 2 boxes of chicken stock and added a pack of 4 chicken theighs to the stock and cooked down for about 45 minutes. I then added the sage and poultry seasoning to the stock. I added the stock one cup at a time after reading older posts and found the right consistency that Paula described and it was fine.

I am 55 and this is the first time that I cooked turkey and dressing. I do not cook very much. I used this recipe and my family loved it. My 87 year old dad said that it was the best that he had ever tasted and he doesn't give compliments often. Everyone loved it. I actually enjoyed preparing it too.
Thank you Paula. You recipe made it so easy.

This turned out great! I worried after reading all the reviews about it beint too soupy, but I watched Paula's video an added enough stock to get the consistency she had in the video. I used 1 1/2 containers of stock that had 4 cups each, so about 6 cups today. I did add two chicken bouillion cubes to the stock it give it more flavor. I also used 5 eggs instead of 6, just because I only had 5. The only thing "off" in the recipe is that it took almost 90 minutes to cook. At 45 min, the center was visibly still liquid. Other than that, great recipe and everyone loved it. Also, I did prepare it the night before and added the eggs before cooking a little bit more stock to loosen it up.

I just made this for Thanksgiving dinner. I didn't make the cornbread from scratch. I used a cornbread mix instead. I followed the rest of the recipe closely. I got compliments from others about how good the stuffing was. I even had one person say the stuffing was "off the hook." It was simple to make and the amount was a lot for the five of us for Thanksgiving. I keep telling others the stuffing recipe was from Paula Deen. This makes me want to look for Paula's recipes for Christmas dinner. I am very impressed.

I will note that the stuffing after 45 minutes in the oven seemed too wet so I had to leave it in for 15 more minutes. I think it varies from oven to oven.

I'm never quite able to duplicate my grandmother's cornbread dressing, so I thought I would try this one this year. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I thought it was way too wet, though that's easy to adjust. I thought the finished flavor tasted too much like Saltines, and it was overall pretty flat tasting. I'll keep looking for the perfect cornbread dressing recipe!
