Cornbread dressing... Recipe - ? (I'm not likely to get it with my turkey at IHOP...

AB scores again...

[alice_bunnie]

This is actually Cynthia's recipe... I'm trying it this year.

Corn bread dressing serves 24

16 cups corn bread (no sugar ever) cooked in a cast iron skillet with bacon drippings.
1 bunch celery, small chop
2large yellow onions
1cup bacon drippings and or butter
29 oz chicken stock (watch for salt )
2cans of cream of chicken soup or one chicken and one celery
6 large eggs (beaten)
2 tea garlic powder
4 tea sage
1tea fresh cracked pepper all flavors to taste...suggest you taste it as you go add more or less.

Saute your onion, celery,
combine all dray and liquid together and then spoon into a large baking dish that has been lightly greased. back at 325 degrees for about 1hour and 10 min top should be brown and crusty. Do not pack down the dressing, lightly spoon mounds.

Thanks!

( - sugar would be like serving instant grits...)

[alice_bunnie]

Even worse... instant grits are from people who don't know any better... however, sweet cornbread is something Yankees do because they think it's supposed to be cake or something. ;)

I'm never opposed to having leftover pie, but it certainly looks like your table will be a fun one to feast at this year.

The mini pies came out pretty good... and with the mini-pies, don't have to worry about cutting and having a big pie tin in your fridge. But, then again, maybe I'm too ocd about a neat fridge! It's why I don't like round containers! LOL
