seminole corn dressing

La Crosse, WI
Updated on Nov 14, 2010

My great grandparents received this recipe from Native American Seminole family that they came to know through their travels. This is an old family recipe, that has been changed (updated) like switching the lard for butter or margarine, and adding canned corn as opposed to fresh corn. Our family likes to have this a few times a year. It is one of our Thanksgiving dressings (we always have friends and family over and it is always a hit. We serve it with chicken, duck, goose, turkey or make stuffed pork chops.
