How To Make my southern cornbread dressing

Step 1

For the Corn Bread - pre-Heat oven to 350 - Put about 2 Tabsp. of cooking oil in a Large cast iron Skillet Set Aside - In a Large Bowl , stir the cornmeal, flour and all the spices , add the eggs and buttermilk, mixing very well ( this will be a pretty thick batter ) When Oven is pre-Heated put Pan in to heat oil, You want the pan really hot. pour Cornbread mixture into hot pan and cook for about 45 minutes, or untill light brown on top and springy when touched in the middle. take out of Oven and let cool in pan about 10 minutes , run a knife all around edges and invert on a plate to cool, when cool crumble up ( My daughter puts her bread in her food processer ) needs to be all bread crums when finished.

Step 2

To make the Dressing - In a skillet over Medium High Heat, Melt the Butter and add the celery and onions, saute till softened, pour over the crumbled cornbread in the pan, in a bowl por in 2 cans of broth and 2 cans of soup, mix well and pour over cornbread, mix everything togeather and you want the bread to be very moist, but NOT runny, you may need to add more broth just be careful, a little at a time, it should hold togeather , you should be able to scoop it out with a spoon without it being dry and falling apart or soupy. Should fit in a buttered 9x13 pan- Bake at 350 for about 35 to 45 minutes or till a golden brown . Serve with Giblet Gravy to spoon over top if desired .
