Kenda's Cornbread and Biscuits Thanksgiving Dressing image

I based this recipe on my Grandma's which called for "10 cents worth of sausage". It took a lot of tweaking, but I think I finally got it right. Because raw pork and eggs are used, this dressing should not be used to stuff a turkey, but instead baked on the side. Preparation time does not include time to bake biscuits and cornbread.

Time 1h30m

Yield 18-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 ounces refrigerated biscuits, baked according to package directions
8 1/2 ounces cornbread mix, baked according to package directions
1 egg, for cornbread mix
1/3 cup milk, for cornbread mix
1/2 cup butter
1 onion, minced in food processor
3 stalks celery, chopped fine in food processor
1 teaspoon salt
12 breakfast sausage links, raw-slit casings and remove meat
1 egg
2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
1/4 cup dried parsley flakes
12 ounces herb-seasoned stuffing cubes
4 -6 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Bake cornbread and biscuits the day before. Cool and cut both into large chunks. Let this sit out overnight to dry (or put in oven to dry).
  • The next day, melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and salt. Saute stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes until soft.
  • In the meantime, in a very large bowl, scramble eggs; add sausage and poultry seasoning and parsley-mix well.
  • Add cubed stuffing and mix well. Lightly toss with cubed biscuits and cornbread.
  • Add broth and mix again. Avoid over mixing, but incorporate most of broth for a heavier dressing, less for a slightly fluffier dressing.
  • Place in a large baking dish and bake uncovered for 1 hour at 350. The top should be light brown. Alternatively, portion into a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners.
  • Due to raw eggs and pork, do not stuff a turkey with this recipe.
