Making a Nutritious Cornbread Dressing

This cornbread dressing recipe is nutritious thanks to my Whole Grain Cornbread that’s used as part of the dressing mix. And using my copycat Bell’s Homemade Poultry Seasoning makes it delicious too.

Keyword: Cornbread Dressing, Stuffing & Dressing, Whole Grain Cornbread Dressing

Author: Mary’s Nest

Ingredients

8 cups Whole grain cornbread* cubes, stale
8 cups White bread or Sourdough bread cubes, stale
1 bunch Celery, chopped
4 Onions, chopped yellow, medium-sized
1 tablespoon Poultry seasoning
2 teaspoons Salt
4 Eggs, large
2 cups Milk, whole
2 cups Chicken or turkey stock or chicken or turkey bone broth
2 sticks (1 cup) Butter, melted more for greasing pan

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 12" round cast iron pan with butter. (You can also use an alternate pan such as a rectangular 9×13 pyrex baking dish.)
Sauté the celery and onions in the butter with the poultry seasoning and salt until the celery is soft and the onions are translucent, but not browned. This process takes approximately 10 minutes.
While the celery and onion cook, add both types of bread cubes to a large bowl.
Once the celery and onion are cooked, pour the celery, onion, and butter mixture over the bread cubes and mix well.
Add the eggs to the milk, mix well, and pour over the bread cube mixture. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Pour the stock or bone broth over the bread cube mixture and mix well.
Transfer the entire mixture to the greased pan and place it on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Allow it to bake for 30-40 minutes until the top is a crispy golden brown.

To re-heat the cornbread dressing, cover it with aluminum foil, and place it on the middle rack of an oven preheated to 350°F. Heat for 20 minutes, remove the aluminum foil, and continue to heat it for an additional 10 minutes.
