Mama's Southern Cornbread Dressing image

I grew up on mama's cornbread dressing. I have come across many cornbread dressing recipes; however, this is still the best. This stuffing has cubes of cornbread with the addition of onions, celery, eggs, and stock. It's the perfect Southern souffle!

Ingredients

8 cups crumbled cornbread
4 cups cubed stale bread
1 cup butter, melted
2 large onions, chopped
1 ½ cups chopped celery
2 cups turkey broth, or as needed
1 ½ cups chopped cooked turkey
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
¼ cup chopped, cooked turkey giblets
4 large hard-cooked eggs, chopped
4 tablespoons self-rising flour
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage, or to taste
2 large bay leaves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 large eggs

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x13-inch baking dishes.
Combine cornbread and stale bread cubes in a large bowl. Set aside.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and celery and cook until transparent, 5 to 10 minutes.
Pour onion mixture over the cornbread mixture. Add turkey broth, chopped turkey, soup, giblets, hard-cooked eggs, and flour. Mix so that all the cornbread is wet. Mix in parsley, sage, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Add beaten eggs. Mixture should be "soupy." Pour mixture evenly into the prepared pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and set, 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Time 1m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
2 sweet onions, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 small bunch mustard greens, stemmed and chopped (about 8 cups)
1 pound tasso ham or ham steak, cut into ½-inch cubes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
3 cups low-sodium turkey or chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs
8 cups 1/2-inch stale cornbread cubes (preferably not sweet; 12 ounces)
8 cups 1/2-inch stale country white bread cubes (12 ounces)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F; butter a shallow 3-quart baking dish. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mustard greens and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the ham, thyme and sage. Add the broth, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes and ham-broth mixture and stir until combined. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small cubes and scatter evenly over the stuffing. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden, 20 to 30 more minutes.
