Mama's Southern Cornbread Dressing

Mama's Southern Cornbread Dressing

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

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9×13-inch baking dishes.

Step 2
Combine cornbread and stale bread cubes in a large bowl. Set aside.

Step 3
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and celery and cook until transparent, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 4
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.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and set, 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes.
