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.

The best part is that you can make this Thanksgiving side dish the day before Thanksgiving, and any leftovers will reheat beautifully!

Ingredients

  • 8 cups Whole grain cornbread* cubes, stale
