This Cornbread Dressing recipe is perfect for those special holiday gatherings. Using homemade white bread and skillet cornbread adds an extra touch of love to this dish. You can prepare the bread ahead of time and freeze it until you’re ready to use it. The addition of fresh mushrooms elevates the flavor, making it a holiday favorite.

Ingredients:

• 2 onions
• 2 stalks of celery
• 1/2 cup of butter
• 4 cups of toasted bread crumbs
• 4 cups of crumbled skillet cornbread
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of dried sage
• 2 teaspoons of poultry seasoning
• 1 cup of turkey broth (or as needed)
• 2 eggs

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Saute Onions and Celery: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and celery, and sauté until they are tender and translucent.

3. Combine Bread Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread crumbs and crumbled skillet cornbread.

4. Add Seasonings: To the bread mixture, add the sautéed onions and celery along with any cooking liquid from the skillet. Then, sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, dried sage, and poultry seasoning. Mix everything thoroughly.

5. Moisten the Mixture: Gradually add the turkey broth to the bread mixture using a bulb baster. You want the mixture to be moist but not overly wet. Adjust the amount of broth as needed.

6. Incorporate Eggs: Once the desired consistency is reached, beat the eggs and stir them into the dressing mixture until well combined.

7. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a large baking pan or casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.

8. Bake: Transfer the dressing mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned and the dressing is heated through.

9. Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the dressing from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

10. Enjoy: Serve this delicious Cornbread Dressing alongside your favorite holiday mains and sides. Happy Holidays! 🎉
