Ok you good cooks out there!what is a good ole fashioned recipes for cornbread dressing for the Holidays?thanx

I cheat a little and use Mrs. Cubbison's cornbread dressing - but I was told by my cousin that my recipe was better than her mother's (who was renowned for her dressing).





I package Mrs. Cubbison's Cornbread dressing


1 stick butter


1 onion


1 bunch of celery


12 oz good broth (chicken or homemade turkey broth)


1 jar of oysters drained and juice reserved








Method:


Melt the butter in a saute pan. Chop the onion and celery in medium pieces (not too small because you still want to see them). Saute in the butter until the onions are translucent. Put the dressing mix into a large bowl (a Kitchenaid stand mixer is a great way to do this). Add the vegetable mixture and the oysters. Add the broth, and mix to thoroughly coat, then add enough oyster juice so that the bread is completely wet, but no soupy.





You can put this into a bird, or, put it into a covered casserole and bake it separately for about 30 minutes.Ok you good cooks out there!what is a good ole fashioned recipes for cornbread dressing for the Holidays?thanx
