I am making my pans of dressing ahead. I save up cornbread and left over buttermilk biscuits through the year. I throw them all into my 'bread for dressing' zip-loc bag. It stays in the freezer until I am ready to make some dressing.
Southern Cornbread Dressing
1 large pan cornbread
3 cups soft breadcrumbs
½ cup butter
2 onions diced
3 cups celery, diced
½ cup chopped fresh sage (1Tbs dried)
4 eggs
60 oz chicken broth, undiluted
1 Tbs fresh pepper
Crumble cornbread, and mix with breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Saute onions and celery in butter until tender, add sage, and stir one minute more. In the breadcrumb bowl, combine chicken broth, eggs, pepper, and cooled vegetables. (This will be soupy!)
Pour into a buttered 13x9 in baking dish. Place in the fridge overnight (may sit for less if needed) Bake @ 375°, uncovered for 30-45 minutes.I have posted this recipe before... but since the girls were looking for it this year, I thought I'd dust it off and post it again.
I am making it ahead and freezing it, so on the big day it can just be thawed and popped in the oven. I freeze it raw, before baking at all, wrapped in foil.
Bill has specific instructions how to thaw and bake everything... Because I am off to visit the Queen!
Y'all enjoy~

Dressing is my favorite food to eat on Thanksgiving....and pecan pie ;)
Yay for dressing! Mine's about the same too but this year I'm adding roasted chestnuts like Grannie used to do! Yum YUM!
We don't eat "stuffing" at our house! :)

Very good site, brilliant write up.
Maybe one or two thumbnails can be added.
think it should be promoted to front page.
While at it, may I ask how you setup your review system?
Thank you.
