This is my favorite recipe for dressing. Since my grandmother, Mama Kelly, spoiled me with this great homemade version, I rarely veer from it. Everything she made was wonderful, and my Thanksgiving isn’t complete until I have my favorite cornbread dressing on my plate, nestled happily alongside my turkey.
You’re going to love this because not only does it taste amazing, it is super simple. The only tricky part is remembering to make homemade cornbread the night before. You can just grab the cornbread recipe on the back of the cornmeal bag.
At Mama Kelly’s, whenever there was extra cornbread to be had, we always crumbled it up into a glass of milk and ate it like cereal. Now that’s a Southern delicacy! Yum! Enjoy this recipe for dressing.
- 4 slices wheat bread, stale
- 1 skillet corn bread, set out overnight
- ½ cup celery, chopped
- 1 med onion, chopped

This is so close to the recipe I grew up on. We also ate left over cornbread in our milk.Thank you for posting it, especially since my mom doesn’t have hers written down and she explains it as “some of this and some of that”. Thanks Kelly I enjoy your blog so much and every recipe you post is so amazing.
