Cornbread Dressing With Gravy
A family-favorite holiday side with gravy for the dressing! My dad's mother made an old-fashioned cornbread dressing with gravy from scratch, without canned or boxed ingredients. She taught my mom, who passed this version on to me. I believe people came to my mom's house for Thanksgiving and Christmas for this one dish! This big-batch version does use cornbread mix, condensed soups, and bagged stuffing for convenience, but everyone asks for the recipe when I bring it along to a holiday potluck because they tell me how much it reminds them of the old-fashioned dressing their grandmothers used to make. Add more traditional stuffing spices as desired.
