My wife, who loves cornbread dressing, found many recipes for it on www.backtomysouthernroots.com. This is based on the one she sent me, which we tweaked the second time I made it. It's very flavorful, moist and savory.

Ingredients

  • JIFFY CORNBREAD
  • 2 boxes Jiffy corn muffin mix (8.5 oz)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • DRESSING
  • 1 - 1 1/2 cups diced onion
  • 2 1/4 cups diced celery
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 3 large eggs, slightly beaten
  • 4 slices stale bread
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons rubbed sage
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

How To Make a jiffy cornbread dressing

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Add the Jiffy corn muffin mix to a medium bowl. Stir in milk and eggs and mix well.
  • Step 2
    Divide evenly between 2 8"x8" baking dishes and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until top is golden brown. This time, I mixed the boxes individually instead of dividing the batter. Allow the cornbread to cool.
  • Step 3
    Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9"x13" baking dish and set aside.
  • Step 4
    Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the celery and onion and cook until the onions are translucent.
  • Step 5
    Cut the cornbread into small cubes and tear the stale bread into pieces while the onions and celery are cooking.
  • Step 6
    After the vegetables are cooked, add them to a very large bowl. Pour in the chicken broth and buttermilk and mix. Add the eggs and mix well. Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sage, and mix again.
  • Step 7
    Finally, add the stale bread and cubed cornbread to the bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Step 8
    Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the dressing is golden brown around the edges and slightly crisp on top.
