How to Make Southern Cornbread Dressing
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Break the cornbread into fine, even crumbs. Finely dice the onion and celery so they blend evenly throughout the dressing.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 3: Combine the Mixture
In a large bowl, mix together the crumbled cornbread, chopped onion, celery, and poultry seasoning. Slowly stir in the chicken broth until the mixture is evenly moistened without becoming overly wet.
Step 4: Fill the Baking Dish
Lightly grease a baking dish, then transfer the dressing mixture into it, spreading it into an even layer.
Step 5: Bake and Serve
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the dressing is hot throughout. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors can settle and the texture can firm up slightly.
