Hey Marie and Calvin! I'm loving this music. Everybody does have their own way of doing it. But yours sound just like the recipe I grew up on. We don't like cranberries and sausage in ours either. Your recipe sounds delicious! Im so glad you're sharing your gravy recipe. I really have a hard time with that. I love how fast and easy it is to make. Loved this video! Hope yall both have a very Blessed week!🥰

I think all southern grandmothers passed this recipe .down in some form. My wife of 46 years uses her homemade potato bread instead of biscuits for a lighter texture . In our little town its a favorite at our bakery this time of year.

Looks so good ! Brings back memories for me of the good times gone by with my mama and daddy and our family. We always just made cornbread dressing like yours but my mama never put biscuits in it. So delicious. I make mine like she did almost like yours, no sage though, none of us like the taste. Thank you for all the good recipes. I love to cook and you give me some new ideas, God bless! Love the Christmas music, I could listen all year long to Christmas music. 🙏🎄

Thanks very much Nancy. Yes we have to be careful with the sage. It will ruin a pan of dressing if you get to much in it.

How many boiled eggs did you use in the gravy? Looks great!

[@angelabrockman7816]

My favorite dish at Thanksgiving!! When you let the breads dry out a day, does that mean you leave them out on the counter or let them set overnight in the oven or fridge? I've always wondered this. The gravy looked great with the dressing! The aroma from the dressing cooking always brings back the childhood memories of that morning. YUM

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Angela. I cover the bread with paper towels and leave it sitting on the counter. Yes Calvin and I both love dressing.

[@debbieskitchen2]

I used to make my mother in laws cornbread dressing but I got lazy and now by the pepperidge farms stuffing mix. My Mom used to put the broth off the turkey in her dressing. She put sage in too and so do I. I just buy chicken broth because I make it the day before Thanksgiving and cook the Turkey the day of Thanksgiving. Have you ever made Giblet Gravy? I have my Mom's recipe but the last 2 or 3 years I haven't made it. I buy turkey gravy already made.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Debbie. We made giblets gravy many years ago. We just make our gravy like this now.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

[@jennyangelle]

Hi, Mrs Marie.. is there a video you have with your cornbread and biscuit recipes that you used for this dressing?? I typically just use Jiffy cornbread and canned biscuits but, I’m afraid it might night taste as good as yours. Also, did you just use the chicken broth that came from boiling your chicken? Sorry for so many questions.. I just want to make sure it comes out just as delicious as yours!! I’m making it this year for Thanksgiving since my sweet mom has had a stroke.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Jennifer. We have a couple of videos making cornbread but in those we use buttermilk. For my dressing I just make cornbread using the recipe on the package of Martha White self rising cornmeal but I use regular milk. For the biscuits I use the recipe on the package of While Lily self rising flour. I like to use the broth from cooking the chicken for the dressing. Mix your dressing with broth until it's not dry but just a little soupy. Not to much or you have to cook it longer to get it done. We hope that you enjoy this dressing and that your family has a Happy Thanksgiving,
Marie and Calvin

[@sharonm6334]

Those are homemade biscuits??? Wow

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

[@goodiebee3007]

When Marie was making the gravy she solved the age old question…what comes first the chicken or the eggs!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@ms_texas]

Could this recipe be cut in half and if so would the bake time be the same or less time in the oven?

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes you can cut it in half. The cook time will be about the same if you use an 8x8 pan but if you use a 9x13 the cook time will be less. Just keep an eye on it.

[@ms_texas]

@@SouthernCountryLiving Thank you

[@faukerconsulting835]

Cornbread Dressing doesn't have any of that cranberries and sausage mess in it...that is called "Stuffing" and it isn't a southern thing😉
I make my dressing ratio like yours...mother always had me test the dressing to see if there was enough sage in it and she too made the cornbread in advance, used the biscuits from breakfast Thanksgiving morning, and boiled her chicken for the broth👍🏻

Crazy question are they homemade biscuits.. As well as cornbread.. I'm scared of making homemade biscuits..

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Darnetta. Yes they are homemade biscuits. Biscuits and cornbread are both very easy to make. I usually just take the biscuit dough and take a small amount and drop it in my pan. This is called drop biscuits and they are perfect for dressing. Biscuits don't have to look pretty to be very delicious.
