Hi Sherry

I’ve corrected the post to show 2 quarts of stock. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Should it be 3 to 4 cups of stock?

In reply to Tondra.

This is without a doubt the best dressing I have had since my grandmother passed away a long time ago, been making this for a few years and have added a couple things like poultry seasoning a little more onion and sage but the most important thing is I make patties instead of a casserole, this is so good with leftover turkey sandwiches makes it worth waiting for, just make with a little less stock and form the patties 3-31/2 in. fits perfect on a sandwich … thank you for such a great dressing recipe

Eggs help the texture become more light. I’m not sure about the impact of the condensed soup.

After trying to follow instructions (by ear) every year for the perfect Southern Style Dressing from different family members to no avail. I have finally HIT THE JACKPOT with someone who reminds me of Paula Deen!! Honestly, it’s Jackie’s southern voice that got me AND THEN I said, “I bet this woman can make some dressin” Boy, was I right! My forever recipe

In reply to UmMa.

This recipe sounds absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to try it. I have a question. Usually when I make my cornbread dressing it turns out so very heavy. I tried some cornbread dressing that my step dad made and it was the best I had ever eaten. His was light and moist. His recipe sounds close to yours and he gave it to me once but I didn’t never make it. I’m trying to find one close to his or as good as his is. My question is about the weight of my dressing. What am I doing to cause my dressing to be so heavy. The only thing I can think of would be all that cream of chicken that I put in my dressing. Could the cream of chicken be what’s causing it to be so heavy?? Thank you and hope you can help

I made this stuffing (I’m a Texas girl and I say stuffing for this side dish even if outside of the bird!) for Thanksgiving this year (which means I made the buttermilk cornbread and onion sage biscuits) and it turned out AMAZING! I was nervous because it was my first time making stuffing and I had high expectations because it is my favorite Thanksgiving side and because I wanted it to taste just like the stuffing I ate when I was growing up. This stuffing was worth every amount of effort, and this is the only recipe I will make from now on! I believe it is the 1/2 cup sage that really brings out the flavor, as I only had to use 1 tsp each of salt and pepper. Thank you Jackie for this traditional cornbread stuffing recipe that is pretty much an exact copy of how my mom made it!

PS: Even my mom (who grew up with my grandmother’s delicious stuffing) said it tasted great! She said she was ‘surprised’ it turned out so well, so I don’t know if she doesn’t think I can’t cook or what, lol, but I will take it!

I was looking for a recipe that was the closest to my grandmothers dressing. When I’m “gone” how will the younger generation know how to make this wonderful dish. Then I found you. Although my grandmothers dressing was the best – your dressing is to die for. It’s the onion & sage biscuits plus the fresh sage that makes all the difference. Absolutely the best I have ever eaten. The “smell” – oh my gosh – your house smells like Thanksgiving. Before my mother passed away she admitted herself this was the best dressing she ever had.
This year will be my 4th year I have made your recipe and my family can’t wait. Thank you for the best dressing in the world. A classic

Thanks for the tips!

Add chicken liver broth too. I can eat it before it’s cooked, and love it. I think everybody adds something different and gets there own flavor. Give mine a try.

Hi Sheri,

Where did you find that I said don’t add eggs?

I’m confused. You said you don’t put eggs, but then you do. 2 eggs

Hi Lizzy! I’m so happy to hear this worked out for you. I’d move the dressing from the freezer to the refrigerator at least 24 hours before cooking; 48 hours is better if you’ve got the space. You don’t need to bring it to room temp before baking. If it’s not thawed before you cook it, keep it covered in foil as it cooks until it’s thawed. Then remove the foil and bake until it’s brown and has reached your desired consistency. Thank you for letting us be part of a great meal. Merry Christmas!

The most perfect cornbread dressing, better than my grandma’s! I think fresh sage cooked in the butter is the best part. A billion times better than poultry seasoning! I didn’t even have time to make the cornbread and biscuits from scratch and it was still so so good. I just turned half a loaf of white bread into croutons in the oven and I made 2 packets of Texas honey cornbread, which I also ended up drying out in the oven even though I made them a few days ahead. I ended up needing to bake this longer than the recipe called for, but that might be because I used different bread or too much liquid. I don’t know, but it turned out perfect nevertheless. Quick question…I put some in a baking dish in my freezer and I want to make it for Christmas. How far in advance should I pull it out and defrost it in the refrigerator? Should I also let it come to room temperature before baking? Thanks so much!
