SOUTHERN CORNBREAD DRESSING



Southern Cornbread Dressing image

Nothing says "welcome home" like the aroma of a fresh baked Southern Cornbread Dressing. In the South you can guarantee there will be dressing on the table (no stuffing down here!) and one of the most popular dressings is cornbread. We've developed a special Cornbread Crumble recipe specifically for this Southern Cornbread Dressing. Our cornbread is a little-bit sweet, but it blends perfectly with the celery, onions, and sage.

CHICKEN-AND-CORNBREAD CASSEROLE



Chicken-and-Cornbread Casserole image

Reminiscient of traditional cornbread dressing, this casserole variation includes chicken. Pick up a deli-roasted bird if you don't have 3 1/2 cups of chopped chicken on hand. It yields just enough meat for this recipe.

CHICKEN OR TURKEY CORNBREAD DRESSING CASSEROLE



Chicken or Turkey Cornbread Dressing Casserole image

This recipe will make one large and one smaller casserole, so freeze one for later, or serve both to a crowd! I have made this casserole without using the cooked chicken and it is still very good, you can also add in cooked chopped bacon in place of the chicken if desired, then use the drippings for the cornbread! You can bake and then freeze the cornbread up to 1 month ahead if desired, then defrost to use in this recipe. If you don't have a 10-inch cast-iron skillet use a 9-inch round cake pan. Since my family likes spicy, I add in 1-2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped into the cornbread mixture, if you like extra heat then add them in! This is a very good casserole! Servings is for both casseroles and is only estimated.
