We are searching for a old time southern style dressing/stuffing recipe. It
was made out of cornbread, day old bread, sage, sliced boiled eggs etc. Does
anyone have a recipe similar to this? We wanted to make it special for my
parents this Thanksgiving.

Thanks in advance..



Southern Cornbread Dressing

1 8" or 9" pan cornbread (make your own, it's easy and way better than store
bought.I add a little fresh chopped sage to the batter before baking)

Chicken broth about 3 cups more or less- may be homemade or canned
(Grandmother used the giblets and turkey neck for the broth then chopped the
giblets up and put them in the dressing-I omit the chopped giblets and feed
them to the cat LOL)

6 slices white bread, toasted
2-3 hard boiled eggs chopped (I also omit these)
1 yellow onion, chopped
6 green onions, use the whole onion, chopped
3-4 celery stalks, some celery leaves, chopped
1-2 raw eggs lightly beaten to help bind the dressing
Fresh chopped sage to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooked, chopped giblets, if using

Sauté the onions and celery in a little butter until soft. Set aside.
Crumble the cornbread into a large bowl, tear the toast into chunks and toss
with the cornbread. Add the eggs (hardcooked only if using), the sautéd veggies
and seasonings and mix lightly. Add the broth a little at a time just until the
bread mixture is moist but not runny. Taste at this point, before you add the
raw eggs and correct seasonings if needed. Add the lightly beaten raw eggs and
mix. Turn into a lightly greased baking dish, smooth the top and bake 350º for
about 45 minutes or until golden brown on top. Jan
