Number Of Ingredients 17

CORNBREAD
1 c flour
2 c self rising corn meal mix
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 c cream style corn
1 c sour cream
1 c milk
3 eggs beaten
1 stick butter
FOR THE DRESSING
1 recipe cornbread crumbled
1 c chopped celery
1 large onion, chopped
salt and pepper
sage and poultry seasoning to taste
4 c chicken broth

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. For the cornbread - melt the butter in a heavy skillet, mix dry ingredients together, mix wet ingredients together, then combine them and stir in the melted butter.
3. Pour into the hot skillet and bake at 400 degree for 30 minutes.
4. In a large bowl, add crumbled cornbread, celery, onion, salt, pepper, sage, and poultry seasoning. Add the broth. Sometimes I use a little less than 4 cups but don't be scared for it to be very wet. Taste for seasoning. We like lots of sage.
5. Spoon into greased casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until lightly browned. If you baked you cornbread ahead and it's not still warm, you may need to cook it a little longer. Check for an internal temp of 160 degrees. I often bake the cornbread the night before and wrap it in foil.
