Home For Thanksgiving Fried Cornbread Dressing image

This cornbread dressing is everything dressing should be - moist and full of flavor. Between the pork sausage, fresh veggies, and sage, it's packed with flavors. Oven-frying the cornbread gives it a buttery sweet flavor which is a great base for the dressing. This recipe serves a crowd but can easily be cut in half. We highly...

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 to 2 lb mild ground sausage
2 diced onions
2 c sliced celery
1 lb sliced fresh mushrooms
4 to 6 can(s) Swanson's chicken broth
2 to 3 tsp sage
salt and pepper, to taste
5 pkg cornbread mix (each packet enough for 6 servings of cornbread)
1 to 2 c butter or margarine (2 cups is better!)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 for cornbread.
  • 2. 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.)
  • 3. Mix up cornbread mix according to package instructions and bake. (Usually, this will be the addition of 2/3 cups sweet milk and 1 egg per package of mix.)
  • 4. Cornbread can be baked ahead, which I usually do the night before.
  • 5. When done, use a knife and score through the cornbread to make very small cubes.
  • 6. Brown sausage in Dutch oven.
  • 7. Add onions, celery and mushrooms and the other half stick of butter if you need more oil. Saute until sausage is done and onion is translucent.
  • 8. Add about 3 cups of cornbread and the sage and let brown a bit. Add rest of cornbread and stir well.
  • 9. Turn dressing from Dutch oven into the roaster pan. Drizzle with chicken broth til nice and moist. (This is a personal taste thing.)
  • 10. Bake at 350 for about an hour or until golden brown.
  • 11. 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.
