This is truly heavenly and one of my most requested dishes. This was my beloved Grandmother's dressing recipe. She was one of the world's best cooks. I always triple the recipe, taking a 4 quart dish to the family gathering so there is enough leftover for everyone to take some home, and keeping a 2 quart dish at home for our family. Ingredients:
3 large eggs |
2 cups crumbled cornbread |
1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs |
3 cups chicken broth |
1/2 cup melted butter |
1/2 cup minced onion |
2/3 cup thinly sliced celery |
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Beat the eggs slightly in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
4. Place in a greased 2 quart baking dish, and bake at 425 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes until set and nicely browned.
5. NOTE: The dressing will look very soupy when mixed, but this is the secret to its success.
6. It makes a wonderfully moist, rich dressing that you and your family and guests will love-guaranteed!
