^Cassie, would she let you post the recipe here for millions (and me) to see?
I love dressing, but I do not believe I've ever had cornbread dressing.
I love dressing, but I do not believe I've ever had cornbread dressing.
Here it is.. there isn't a recipe that is written down. She makes it from memory and when I do it I make it from watching her over the years. It's really pretty simple.
Make a double batch of cornbread. If you buy self rising cornmeal it will have a cornbread recipe on the bag. If you don't have that where you live you can get plain cornmeal and add some self rising flour.. If I have to I will find out how to make that and post it. Hopefully you already know how to make cornbread! OH and when making the cornbread, the crunchier the better. So cook it long enough so it's nice and brown on the top. (you can make the cornbread a day early)
In a big pot: One whole chicken (if chicken guts like liver and gizzard and heart gross you out don't add them but they make the dressing taste more delicious IMO.) A couple stalks of chopped celery and a medium chopped onion. Cover with water add salt and pepper and poultry seasoning. How much poultry seasoning? I just don't know.. not so much that it overpowers but enough to taste it. Some people like a lot of poultry seasoning, but I prefer less. I like to be able to taste the other things in the dressing. Boil until the chicken done, and tender. It should come off the bone easily.
Remove the chicken from the pot, de-bone it and tear it or cut it into small pieces. Throw out the bones.
In a large mixing bowl break up the cornbread into small pieces. Add the chicken, more chopped celery and onion and 3 or 4 chopped up boiled eggs. Then add enough of the chicken broth to make it very moist but not soupy. Taste it to make sure you have enough seasoning and adjust it if needed. Spoon it into cake pans.. we like to use 9X13 baking dishes so it's thin enough to dry out a bit and get crunchy on top. Bake it at 350 for about 45 minutes.. just check on it now and then to see if the top is getting browned. Everything in the dressing is already cooked so really all you are doing is getting it nice and hot and brown on top.
LOL.. I'm terrible at writing recipes, I have to add commentary. Sorry if it's hard to follow!

OK.. I found a recipe for cornbread online and I will post it.
http://southernfood.about.com/od/cornbread/r/bl50926b.htm
INGREDIENTS:
* 2 cups yellow cornmeal
* 1 1/2 cups flour
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 2 tablespoons sugar, optional
* 3 eggs, beaten
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for skillet
* 2 cups milk
* 1/4 cup melted butter
* melted butter for brushing top
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 425°. Put oil or shortening in a 10-inch iron skillet and place in the oven to preheat while making batter.
In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and sugar, if using.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and butter. Combine with dry ingredients and stir until all ingredients are moistened. Batter will be like a thick pancake batter.
Carefully, with heavy oven mitts, lift skillet out and turn to coat all of the inside surface with oil. Pour in batter and return to oven. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, until browned. A toothpick inserted in center should come out clean.
LEAVE OUT THE SUGAR!! Most people down here do not put sugar in their cornbread, and NEVER when you are making dressing out of it. Since this recipe calls for baking powder and soda do not use self rising flour, cause it already has that stuff in it. You can use self rising flour and leave out the baking powder and soda or just add much less. I think my grandma always adds a tiny bit of baking powder, like a half teaspoon. ALSO it is unnecessary to brush the top with butter since you're making dressing out of it.. really I never brush the top of cornbread with butter.

OH and curiousa2z that recipe will make about three pans of dressing. You can put some in the freezer to bake later. It'll keep for a month or two if you seal it up tight.
ONE more thing.. if you do not have enough chicken broth to moisten all the dressing you can use the water from the boiled potatoes, cause everyone has mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving DON'T THEY? My granny called the water left after boiling vegetables "pot liquor" lol.
