GRANNY'S SOUTHERN CORNBREAD DRESSING



Granny's Southern Cornbread Dressing image

This is how the last 5 generations of our family have made cornbread dressing. Surprised not to see this on Zar. So here is my family recipe. I was always the official taste tester. Before it went into the oven my mom would give me a bowl of it. I would tell her what seasonings needed adjusting. It became a ritual. LOL The cornbread is baked with the onion and celery in it. Really makes a difference to taste.

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups cornmeal (White Lily the best)
1 cup self rising flour (again White Lily is best)
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup milk (more if needed)
2 eggs
4 slices bread, toasted and torn into small pieces
1 teaspoon dried sage (to taste)
1 teaspoon pepper (to taste)
3 cups hot chicken broth (more if needed)
1 tablespoon salt (to taste)
1/3 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees .
  • Make cornbread by mixing cornmeal, flour, oil, eggs, buttermilk and milk.
  • Stir until well blended. Stir in celery and onion.
  • If the batter is too thick, add more milk. (should be pourable).
  • Pour into greased hot iron skillet (if you have one, if not get one, they aren't expensive and you can get them at Wal Mart. I have one I use just for cornbread!).
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until top is light brown.
  • When done and cooled down a bit. Crumble into a large bowl.
  • Add bread pieces, butter and seasonings. Mix well.
  • Start adding chicken or turkey broth, stirring and adding more broth as needed. (important: add broth until you think it is just right, then add more. It will soak up and dry out in the oven).

  • Pour into a grease 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish or pan.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with gravy.
  • Note: Broth made from boiling a hen will be best but canned will work.

THE BEST CORNBREAD DRESSING



The Best Cornbread Dressing image

Complete your Thanksgiving spread with our favorite cornbread dressing. To make it truly perfect, we opted to make the cornbread from scratch using stone-ground cornmeal, buttermilk and just the right amount of sugar. The result is a perfect base that's buttery and moist. Classic holiday flavors like onion and celery, plus fresh sage, thyme and parsley hit all the right notes.

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups stone-ground yellow cornmeal
2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons kosher salt
14 tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup whole milk
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
1 large onion, medium dice
4 stalks celery, medium dice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • For the cornbread: preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish generously with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl until combined.
  • Put the butter in a 4-cup liquid measuring cup or a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until completely melted, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool slightly, then whisk in the buttermilk, whole milk and eggs until smooth.
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until just combined with no lumps remaining. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish. Bake until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (The cornbread can be made one day in advance. After cooling completely, wrap the pan tightly with plastic wrap and store at room temperature.)
  • Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • Once the cornbread is completely cool, run a small offset spatula around the edges of the pan, then invert it onto a cutting board and cut into 1-inch cubes. Transfer to 2 rimmed baking sheets and spread into an even layer. Bake, rotating the trays halfway through, until the cornbread cubes are crisp at the edges and almost completely dried out, about 40 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool completely. (This step can be done up to 24 hours in advance. Store the cooled cornbread cubes in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag until ready to use.)
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish generously with butter.
  • For the dressing: melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, sage, thyme and poultry seasoning and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes more. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add the cornbread cubes, chicken broth and eggs to the bowl and toss gently until the vegetables are evenly dispersed and the bread is very moist (do not overwork or the cornbread will fall apart). Transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake until warmed through, about 30 minutes. Uncover, then return to the oven and bake until lightly browned and crisp at the edges, about 20 minutes more. Let sit for 10 minutes, then top with chopped parsley and serve.

THREE GENERATION CORNBREAD DRESSING



Three Generation Cornbread Dressing image

My grandmother used to make this dressing, then my mother took over cooking for the family and added her spin to it. When I took over most of the holiday cooking I also added my spin to it. It's just gotten better throughout the generations. Most cornbread stuffings/dressings don't have rice as an ingredient or a lot of meat, but mine has both. I cook down several big thick turkey necks and pull the meat from the bones and add that to the dressing. It's really a meal in itself, but add a little turkey gravy and cranberry sauce... it's almost as good as dessert!

Number Of Ingredients 22

STOCK INGREDIENTS
5 - 6 large turkey necks
- turkey giblets
1 large onion, quartered
2 large carrots, cut into thirds
3 stalk(s) celery
5 - 6 - garlic cloves, whole
1 tablespoon(s) whole peppercorns
1 tablespoon(s) salt
DRESSING INGREDIENTS
1 - 9 x 13 pan of prepared cornbread (scratch recipe or jiffy mix)
1/2 stick(s) butter or 4 tbsp bacon drippings, or 1/2 and 1/2
3 large onions, diced
2 bunch(es) green onions, sliced thin
1 large bell pepper, diced (any color)
4 stalk(s) celery, diced
1/4 cup(s) garlic, minced
1 - 2 bunch(es) fresh parsley, chopped or 1 cup dried parsley
- *sage to taste if you like it (i don't use sage in my dressing
3 - 4 cup(s) slightly under-cooked white rice
- salt, black pepper, cayenne to taste
- stock from necks and wings or from turkey drippings

Steps:

  • STOCK DIRECTIONS: In large stockpot, add all ingredients and cover with about 3-4 inches of water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about an hour. When stock has cooled a little, pour liquid through a large strainer and discard the seasonings. Set stock aside.
  • Remove necks and wings to a plate and when the meat is cool enough to handle, pick the necks and wings free of meat and set aside. Chop up the giblets very small. Discard bones.
  • DRESSING DIRECTIONS: Crumble corn bread into very large bowl. Add cooked rice, reserved neck and wing meats, and parsley. Mix well.
  • In large skillet, saute onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic in bacon grease/butter until tender. Add to cornbread mixture, add parsley and a little salt & pepper. Mix well and taste. Add salt & pepper as needed.
  • Pour mixture into 1 or 2 large baking pans and add a lot of stock to the mixture. You want this to be very wet and to see little puddles of juice throughout the dressing.
  • Bake in 350 oven about 30-40 minutes until top is golden brown.
