"Dressing, stuffing, whatever, this is just good. I modified the instructions slightly, but the recipe came form my Better Homes and Garden Cookbook that's absolutely ancient. See note at bottom on how to make a vegetarian version."

ingredients

  • 3 cups coarsely crumbled cornbread

  • 2 tablespoons bacon drippings
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 12 cups diced onions

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Saute the onions and celery in the bacon drippings, until soft but not browned.
  • Let cool slightly.
  • Toss the cornbread, bread, bacon, poultry seasoning, parsley, salt and pepper until mixed well.
  • Add the cooked celery and onions and toss to mix well.
  • Add the eggs and 1 cup of the chicken broth and stir to moisten, adding as much broth as needed.
  • (Everytime is going to be different.) This is a personal taste decision.
  • I like my dressing moist so I add broth until I have a very wet mixture.
  • Any type pan will work for baking.
  • I generally use a 8 x 8 disposable pan, but if I am making a double batch I use a 9 x 13 pan.
  • Bake for 30 min, uncovered, or until golden on top.
  • This is enough to stuff an 8 to 10 lb turkey, if you so desired.
  • **NOTE**I have made this several times for vegetarian dinners, omitting the bacon, drippings and chicken broth and substituting with either butter, or olive oil and vegetable broth with great success.
  • ALSO--If you save leftover pieces of cornbread/bread heels in a ziploc bag in your freezer, you will have half the work already done when your ready to make this.
  • (Just a tip my grandma told me that works.).

  1. I've been using this recipe for over 20 years. As written, it's a little bland for me, so I use a lot more poultry seasoning than the recipe calls for. I don't add the eggs in until the very end - that way I can continually taste-test until the flavor is just right, without worrying about ingesting raw eggs. In addition to the broth, I also add a few cups of milk. The extra liquid keeps the dressing from being too dense, and adds a little richness to the flavor. The other modification I make is using all cornbread, instead of a mixture of cornbread and white bread.

  2. Good! Bacon added a different but delicious flavor. I made a batch and a half and baked in a 13x9 dish. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

  3. This stuffing was good, not great. I was hoping for something with an extra kick in flavor, hoping the bacon would do that. The texture was good, and my kids liked it. I just think it needed something else. Will work on it.Thanks for posting.

  4. We made this the other night using turkey bacon. (We also make our own cornbread using buckwheat flour - not that you can call stuffing a health food, LOL.) Anyway, we thought this recipe was very tasty. I added more seasoning than called for, and I think next time I might throw in some mushrooms, too. It made a very full 8x8 pan. We'll definitely make it again.

  5. I love this recipe and have used it for years. This year I found my old BH&G cookbook was missing the page with this recipe on it! I was very glad to find it here. My family loves this stuffing - in fact, my ex-husband calls to ask for the recipe for this and my holiday cheese ball frequently! :)

  1. Extra poultry seasoning, additional liquid (milk), use only cornbread instead of a mix of white bread and cornbread
