How To Make mama's dressing

  • Step 1
    Make cornbread. (You can use box or bought cornbread. Not sweet cornbread.)
  • Step 2
    Crumble & brown the sage breakfast sausage.
  • Step 3
    Lightly sauté the onions, celery, and green bell pepper in sausage drippings. Add carrots ans scallions to the sauté at the end.
  • Step 4
    Crumble the cornbread in an extra large bowl. Add leftover bread/biscuits, crumbled. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of chicken bouillon over crumbs and mix.
  • Step 5
    Add into the bread mixture the veggie sauté and the remaining ingredients. Mix 1 Tbsp of chicken bouillon into warm chicken stock. Pour enough chicken stock to make mixture a little loose if you are going to have the dressing marinate in the fridge overnight (which I recommend). But do not make mixture too loose if you are not marinating overnight. (HOLD OFF OF THE VEGETABLE OIL, EGGS, AND PARSLEY IF YOU ARE MARINATING OVERNIGHT. THESES INGREDIENTS GO IN RIGHT BEFORE YOU PLACE IT IN THE OVEN.)
  • Step 6
    Next day or same day, add vegetable oil & 2 eggs. Add more stock to mixture to make mixture less stiff but not too loose.
  • Step 7
    Pour into a large greased sheet pan. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour until brown around edges & toothpick comes out clean.
