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.

GRANDMA LIZZIE'S CORNBREAD DRESSING

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Butter, for greasing pan
1/2 loaf white bread, cut into small cubes and toasted
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons turkey fat or butter, skimmed from pan drippings
1/2 Buttermilk Cornbread, recipe follows
1/4 pound saltine crackers, or about 1 sleeve crumbled
3 hard-boiled large eggs, peeled and chopped
4 cups turkey pan juices, chicken broth or low-sodium canned broth
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons corn oil or bacon drippings
3 cups self-rising white cornmeal
2 1/2 to 3 cups buttermilk, well shaken

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9- by 13- by 2-inch baking dish.
  • Place the bread cubes on a large baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly brown, 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
  • In a medium skillet, saute the onions in the turkey fat until translucent and softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. In a very large bowl, crumble the Buttermilk Cornbread, toasted bread cubes and cracker crumbs. Add the onions and eggs and toss with a fork until mixed. Add 3 cups of the broth and mix it well, adding more as needed to make a very moist but not soupy dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in the prepared pan until slightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into a well-seasoned 9-inch cast-iron skillet and place over medium-high heat. Put the cornmeal in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the cornmeal and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. With a fork, stir in enough of the buttermilk to make a batter that is thick but can be easily poured into the hot skillet. You may not need all 3 cups.
  • Carefully pour the batter into the skillet. The oil will come up around the edges. Use the back of a spoon to smooth this over the top of the batter. Continue to heat on the stovetop for 1 minute, and then transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the cornbread until browned on top, about 20 minutes. Immediately turn the cornbread out onto a cooling rack to keep the crust crisp.
