FRAN'S EGGPLANT CORNBREAD DRESSING
My mother got this recipe out of the newspaper in the '80's. It became a family favorite, beating out traditional cornbread stuffing at Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you just *have to have* traditional dressing, incorporate eggplant or squash into it to keep the stuffing from drying out. The eggplant provides moisture, but not much taste. This casserole is all about the cheese and cornbread!

Steps:
- Grease a 2 quart casserole dish and set aside.
- Microwave eggplant until soft. Perhaps 6 minutes. When done, mash to a pulp.
- Fry the onion in a little butter until soft and translucent.
- Crumble the cornbread into coarse crumbs.
- Combine eggplant, onion, butter and cornbread.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients and pour into a greased casserole dish. Bake at 350F for 45 minutes or until the casserole is "set:" in the middle. ("Set" means a knife inserted in the middle of the casserole comes out clean, but not so well done that the casserole is dry.).
- This is a very forgiving recipe. Instead of measuring out 2 cups of cornbread crumbs, I usually just crumble up an 8x8 pan of fresh cornbread. You want the mixture to be wet enough to wet all the cornbread crumbs, but not so wet that it won't "set up." If it seems a little dry before baking, add just a little chicken broth or water.
- I have also used yellow squash or zucchini in place of the eggplant. The prep time can be reduced by using frozen onions in place of fresh. Also, I am just really slow at prep!

HOME FOR THANKSGIVING FRIED CORNBREAD DRESSING
This recipe has grown a few strapping boys and delighted even the pickiest gal in the bunch. Our home is always full to overflowing on Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is the one recipe that is a "must" even if we don't do turkey. This has evolved over the years to try to hit everyone's preferences. It's my own invention! It tastes good as is or will serve well with southern cream

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 for cornbread.
- Place stick of butter in bottom of roasting pan and place in oven to melt it (This will allow the cornbread to"fry" while it's baking).
- Mix up corn bread mix according to package instructions (Usually, this will be the addition of 2/3 cups sweet milk and 1 egg per package of mix.) (Cornbread can be baked ahead, which I usually do the night before).
- When done, use a knife and score through the cornbread to make very small cubes.
- (You should have enough to be able to enjoy a few cubes of this buttered delight while it's still hot).
- Brown sausage in dutch oven.
- Add onions, celery and mushrooms and the other half stick of butter if you need more oil.
- Saute til sausage is done and onion is translucent.
- Add about 3 cups of cornbread and sage.
- Let brown a bit.
- Add rest of cornbread and stir well.
- Turn dressing from dutch oven into the roaster pan.
- Drizzle with chicken broth til nice and moist (This is a personal taste thing).
- Bake at 350 for about an hour or until golden brown.
- This makes enough for 24 to 30 servings depending on appetites.
- Is wonderful left-over.
- Your guests will even want to take some home with them.
- Freezes well.
- (I don't salt during cooking. Just place salt and pepper shakers on the table for those who want more than what's already there).

THANKSGIVING CORNBREAD DRESSING
Adapted from Brown's Guide to Georgia. This is our favorite dressing at Thanksgiving. Bake separately in a pan, then cut into squares to serve or spoon right from the pan. Time does not include making corn bread. I have used packaged cornbread stuffing but I think it is better with the homemade. Either works however. If you use preseasoned stuffing mix, you will need to cut back on the salt and adjust other seasonings to your taste.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the eggplants into 1-inch chunks. Scoop out the flesh with a melon baller or teaspoon measure to form small cups, making sure not to go all the way through the bottom. Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Place the cups, scooped side up, onto the sheet pan and lightly spray them with cooking spray. Season them with salt and pepper. Bake the cups until they are just softened but not collapsed, 10 to 15 minutes.
- While the eggplant cups are baking, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it up with a fork, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until cooked through. Stir in the corn muffin crumbles, broth, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Fill the eggplant cups with the sausage mixture. Transfer to platter and garnished with chopped chives, if desired.
