I must have this served with cranberry sauce and a slice of turkey! All my family looks forward to the dressing, it just would not be Thanksgiving without it.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
A traditional Thanksgiving side is cornbread dressing and this is a great one. It's moist without being too wet and holds together without being too hard. Sometimes cornbread dressing can be a little dry that you need to serve it with gravy, not this recipe. One flavor does not overpower another - they're balanced perfectly. Once baked, the side dish is a beautiful golden brown and will be a fantastic addition to any holiday table. This recipe makes a lot which is great because we could not stop eating this dressing.

1 largeskillet of cornbread (2 boxes of Jiffy works great)

How to Make Nonna's Cornbread Dressing
- Preheat oven to 425. Saute onions and celery in butter/margarine until tender.
- In a very large bowl crumble your cooled cornbread. Add bread cubes, box of stuffing mix, and sage.
- Add cooked onions and celery.
- Beat eggs in separate container til well mixed and add to cornbread mixture.
- Now start adding chicken stock until your mixture has the consistency of thick pancake batter, mixing well.
- Pour into greased 9x13 pans. I use my Corning Ware. I get 2 pans with this recipe.
- Bake 425 until lightly browned on top; about 45 min. Just keep peeking. I like to make this up a day ahead and keep in the fridge. All the flavors incorporate this way.
