Serves/Makes: 8 | Ready In: 1-2 hrs
Ingredients:
***Cornbread***
2 cups self-rising cornmeal
2 eggs beaten
2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons bacon drippings, melted
***Dressing***
1/3 cup butter or margarine
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
12 slices day old bread, crumbled
2 cups turkey or chicken broth (or as needed)
1 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Cornbread: Combine the cornmeal, eggs, buttermilk, and bacon drippings until well mixed. Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet and place it in the hot oven for 4-5 minutes. Remove from oven and then pour the cornbread batter into it. Return to oven and bake at 450 degrees F for 35 minutes or until the cornbread is lightly browned and the top bounces back when gently touched.
Let the cornbread cool completely then crumble it into a large bowl.
Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F.
Dressing: Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and saute until soft. Add the vegetables and butter to the bowl with the cornbread and gently mix.
Add the crumbled white bread, broth, milk, beaten eggs, salt, poultry seasoning, sage, and pepper to the bowl and stir well.
Spoon the dressing into a greased 13x9 baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until the dressing is firm but not dried out.
