I make this year round, and there's never any leftovers. After trying this, there's no way you could go back to boxed stuffing mix! It's a perfect "make ahead" dish, cause you can go through all the steps, except baking, and leave it in the fridge til you're ready. During the last few minutes of baking I top it w/ a few tablespoons of butter to really throw it over the top.

How To Make caramelized onion cornbread dressing

Step 1

Make cornbread according to package directions.

Step 2

Once cornbread baked, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using butter or EVOO (I use both), saute diced onions in medium to large saucepan until dark brown. Pour into greased 9x13 baking dish. Add crumbled cornbread, cooked meat of choice and sage.
Step 3

In medium bowl, whisk together soup and 1c chicken broth. Pour over cornbread mixture. Toss until well combined.
Step 4

Pour remaining stock over dressing mixture, stirring until completely moistened. Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Optional: Top w/ 4-6 tbsp butter during last few minutes of baking.
