Thanksgiving Cornbread Dressing

[@Redbone0672]

I’m so glad that someone “finally” posted a video on how to make the kind of dressing that my mother & grandmother make it. This is the real deal!!! The way dressing is supposed to be!!!

[@Tomc8030]

I knew this dressing was going to be good from the start, you can hear the love in her voice for her family and when you cook with love it just turns out great!

[@VenitaStrong]

Mmmm Delicious

[@swonsley245]

OMG!!!!! I made this recipe for Thanksgiving and people went back for thirds and took home containers, there is nothing left! Thank you for sharing your incredible recipe!

[@carriescozykitchen6632]

Good for you. Makes my heart warm. Thanks for watching!

[@marygude5752]

Wow MRS.CARRIE THIS BRING BACK REMEMBER OF MY NANNA SHE AKSO COOKED LIM THIS THANKS FOR SHARING

[@selenepickins4874]

Lord, Miss Carrie, I'm 63 down here in Alabama & this cornbread dressing is how I learned to make it watching my mama & mamaw make it in my Mama's kitchen!! My heavens but isn't it good! I miss my mama & my Mamaw & don't I envy your children gathering in your home to enjoy that meal!!! My son won't eat dressing! I'm gonna make myself a little pan but it won't be as good as yours. Happy holidays to you & yours. Blessings to you & Peace to us all.

[@stephanymstmary8651]

Finally someone who makes cornbread dressing the true Southern Louisiana way. This is how my mom did it and how me and my sisters make it. No can soups, bell pepper and all that other stuff you see in other videos . Thank you.

[@gloriascott3693]

OooH how u telling the truth 🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤.

[@tammypyle4847]

Oh my goodness! You are the first person to make cornbread dressing the way my mother used to make it. I have watched soooo many cooking shows but NOBODY made it like my mother did. I wondered how in the world she came up with it. I have worked off memory of the things I saw her do and I have come close. Really close. Now I have met you! Thank you so much for this video! While she never added the meat to the dressing, she had it in her Giblet Gravy. All of the Stock, Cornbread (the exact way my mother made it), Pepperidge Farms Herb Stuffing, sautéd in butter, onions and celery (no peppers here either) Chicken Bouillon, Seasonings... Wow! 😥 It just made me miss my mother so much! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! 😊 This is going to be a wonderful Thanksgiving thanks to your inspirational Thanksgiving Cornbread Dressing video! Happy Thanksgiving! God Bless you and your family.

[@joyceeberhardt6630]

I cook my dressing the same way, except I don't put thyme in it. I might try to put some thyme in it the next time. Thanks.

[@tonietchison1730]

I make mines like that.

You make dressing like my mom. She used to put sage in her dressing also. RIP Mama!

[@angelarobinson8349]

Exactly how I was taught Minus the sage. Good job!

[@cherylwilliam7210]

That is a beautiful thing. Yes n indeed. Duchess ❤😊

[@frances3705]

When you put love in your food u can taste it..and she did that, no rushing no complications this is real

[@kikithegreat2525]

Now this is some home cooking. It just warms my heart to see all the love you put into feeding your family.

[@RobertJones-ri2sp]

That's how I was showed to make cornbread stuffing.... Nice!!! Nice!!! ❤❤❤

[@lorimoffet313]

I hate when people say that dressing is simple, it’s always been my ONLY NIGHTMARE! 😫🥺😭😢 I’m trying so hard to not overthink it but ever year it has me so stressed out and it’s my favorite. But I keep going back to my granny and how she made it and I just can’t do it. I was just the official taste tester before it went in the oven. I’m so envious of anyone who can make it without blinking an eye. Thank you for sharing this video with us 🫶

[@itstheWord]

Enjoyed the patience and clarity! I now have my mommy's dressing to bake, just like what you shared. She always made fresh cornbread and never failed to put the gizzard and liver...mmm. Thank you

[@CK-ho9lp]

This is the way my Mom made it. Not like all these videos using canned soup. You are a true old school chef. I’m so happy I found your channel!

[@tricethomas9653]

Hey hey hey.... there's nothing wrong with the soups 😁

[@reneejohnson9256]

I make mine similar to hers. I find the cream of celery soup kicks it up a notch. I add tarragon to my cornbread before i bake. It's good.

[@paulagoolsby9953]

9pm O 😅​@@tricethomas9653

[@mycollectivehome4620]

Yes! I grew up north and we made ours this way too but with white bread/ herb bread. I never even heard of using canned soup in my stuffing. We also add ground sausage in ours too and sage.

[@shirleyjohnson9285]

My mom never used the crumbs, i still make my mom's dressing to this day and my family cant get enough.

[@birdchoyce4332]

My Mom never used the crumbs either, but she would add old bread/biscuits along with the cornbread. Her dressing was always so delicious with the giblets, veggies and juice from the turkey 🦃

[@MusicLover-hu9fw]

Thank you, Ms. Carrie! Your videos teach people the old school, tried and true methods. There is no place for any "Cream of *****" in dressing. I think that was introduced as a modern day shortcut, trying to do everything "fast & simple". The joy of holiday cooking is the time, effort, and love that goes into developing flavors that were classic before canned soup was invented. Please continue to share with us! We appreciate you!

[@carriescozykitchen6632]

Thank You Music Lover and thanks for watching!

[@margaretenglish1110]

That's right no fast and easy shortcuts. Keep it HOMEMADE like great grandma 💯

[@aliciaknott8109]

I made this for my Thanksgiving because I have to work. It's the bomb, thank you Mrs. Carrie. I hope you and your family have safe and blessed Thanksgiving 2023.💙

[@bondperry9780]

I am so glad that I find your channel when I was looking for a Southern Cornbread recipe....there are a lot of them....and I watched quite a few of them ..... I am an 84 y old transplant from New England and was familiar with my mother and grandmother's bread "stuffing" and had earned a reputation for making excellent "stuffing' with my sons, relatives who came for T day at my house and church pot luck dinners. But I live in Florida now and have been wanting to make corn bread dressing.....I have not had the same reputation when I tried to make cornbread dressing in NH for a transplant from GA who always missed Southern style dressing. I think you and several other TV hosts have emersed me in how to make Soul Food Old Fashion Dressing. I am pretty confident that this year I will have the success that has eluded me. I am ready to bake my own cornbread, stock with turkey necks and gizzard and will pick and chop the meat to add to the dressing (I usually havent added meat to New England stuffing...sometimes chestnuts and other times (sausage or oysters). The one ingredient from my family's style stuffing that I find indispensable is Bell's Seasoning.....it is a poultry seasoning that has always been part of my thanksgiving.....(I also use sage and thyme and garlic/onion powder. (I think Bell's has a little ginger in addition to the usual poultry seasonings). I also will add a bit of savory.....an herb that is popular with French-Canadian cooks---especially in traditional pork pies which are traditional for xmas. Anyway.....I want to thank you for your channel and for your wonderful recipes and your charming personality and accent. I feel as if I know you. Blessings to you and your family.

[@donnaking8056]

Ms.Carrie I only use cornbread for my dressing no herb crumbs added and neither do I add egg to my dressing. My mother taught me to make dressing. I only add broth from the gizzards I boiled and can broth when extra broth is needed. I season the dressing with my seasonings. I Sautee the vegetables like you. We love our dressing prepared the way mom use to make it.

[@carriescozykitchen6632]

Yes ma’am and mine is like my mother’s. I just hope that the next generation will continue our traditions. Thanks for watching!

Mrs. Carrie Mrs. Carrie Mrs. Carrie I made your roasted turkey wings. OMG I CAN'T STOP EATING THEM. The best turkey wings I've ever ate. Put mine to shame. I'm loving making others peoples recipes. But I'm stuck on your site. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@pamelaturner6563]

I got to try those

[@bernicegreen6743]

Wow, there is something about watching a real cook do her thing that is as close to heaven as can be. I miss my grandmothers so much. I hope your family respects all the love and skill that goes into this. You are amazing. Watched this twice with tears in my eyes both times. Your family will always have the memories of this beautiful skilled angel working magic in her kitchen just to make the day special for them. God bless you and your family, they are so lucky to have you. Tell them for me They will regret it if everyone of them do not hug you and tell you just how incredible you are. One day they will give anything to look into that kitchen and see you there with all those smells and all that love you supply them with. There is not substitute for you. I am sure they already know it. God bless you.

[@sylviapasley5837]

Oh wowww .. that looks so delicious

[@lindacarol9484]

I really like how patience you are as you are giving instructions on what you are doing. ❤️

[@lindahandley5267]

It's got to be soupy when it goes in the oven so it's nice and moist when it comes out! *YUMMY* 😍😋

[@lisawoodall375]

No garlic no green peppers. I love you reciepe. My momma had me fixing homemade dressing when I was a girl. If we don't pass down our food it will end with us. And that's a shame. Love you have wonderful holidays to you and your family. May God Richly Bless Yall.

[@kl2spencer319]

So true, and no canned soups. My father and aunt have long passed away, and this is one recipe that I inadvertently forgot to take notes.

[@AnnOestreich]

You have the sweetest smile. That dressing looks so good I could almost smell it. The Lord bless you.

[@aprilq116]

Made this last night and baked this morning. It is soooo delish! THANK YOU! And Happy Thanksgiving 2023. 🥰

Thanks so much. I am making as we speak.

[@katgirlsue]

Only one thing wrong! I can’t have some of it! Same way my mama made hers & I make mine but that baking hen - using that cup of drippings just makes it so much better - more flavor! Thanks, I enjoyed watching you prepare it & Happy Thanksgiving 2024! ❤️

[@dreamareliford1723]

I am glad you are sharing with people dressing recipes alot of people don't have time to learn its really easy to make..❤❤

Ma'am, you are AWESOME!!!!!! I never made dressing but I definitely am going to try your recipe. Thanks for sharing.

[@mizzmary861]

A Woman who also believes that anything good should be shared😊 I think we're all known for that one thing we make that is remembered and hopefully made for years to come. Mine is homemade dressin', made alot like yours, it's one thats been made for decades. Somthing about waking up on Thanksgiving to the aroma of it baking in the oven. Cooking a spread for the Family is a true labor of love. Thank you for sharing and hoping you have a Blessed 2023 Thanksgiving!

[@ridiculousnessreigns8018]

Omg, you make your dressing almost the exact same way my grandma and aunts taught us. From the Martha White buttermilk cornbread mix, to adding a pack of Pepperidge Farm dried stuffing to bulk it up, to “Don’t use too much sage!!!” 😂 ❤

[@BLUECRABNETWORK]

I love that she tasted it and let us know how it tastes. I'll bet it is fantastic.

That’s actually how my mother made dressing. I thank God I remember how she made it. It was 4 us girls in the kitchen growing up, and we all learned how to make dressing like this.

I learned how to make dressing watching your video. It turned out perfect. It tastes just like my mother’s. Thank you! Thank you! You are a wonderful cook!!

[@ss-mm7zo]

Oh mam...finally....you make dressing just like my Mama's ❤. She's been gone since 1980. I was just 17. Ive tried so hard through the years to make it and just couldn't get it right. Thank you.

[@elizabethtims9542]

You have a pretty smile and you put love in your cooking

[@cheyennestewart5930]

This is just like my grandma's recipe. She passed in 2012 and as she got older she used the can stock instead of making her own but it was good either way. I'm going to try this for Christmas. Thankyou v

[@lindaweathers8182]

Oh yeah,...no doubt that is the best dressing I ever saw. I thought I made the best but girl, you got it going on! I agree with you, bell pepper & garlic have no place in dressing. I also use the pepperidge farm cornbread crumbs (blue bag) I dont use necks, gizzards, liver, or heart in mine, but i do like using breast & wing meat. I dont measure either.. lol. So glad I found your channel, I subscribed as I am excited to check out your other videos and maybe learn something new. My mother in law taught me how to cook.

[@nibornnyw3185]

OMG you just gave me such a good idea! I love dressing now and then, and I always end up making such a big mess of it when i make it, since I come from a large family. So, putting some in bags and freezing it is such a great idea for me.

[@MadlyinLovewithJesus-1953]

Oooooh, I can tell this is an EXCELLENT stuffing (dressing) tutorial. And I really enjoyed your kind way of teaching. Thank you! I'll be making dressing tomorrow, using some homemake cornbread that came out too sweet as well as homemade sourdough that came out TOO sour, and I think they will balance each other out. I have some chicken bone broth I made last week and plan to bake some turkey wings tomorrow -- (the day before Thanksgiving) -- to get some good turkey drippings in that stuffing too. I have a QUESTION: What do you think about drying out all the bread in the oven at a low temperature for about an hour before adding it to the stuffing? The idea as I understand it is that this will make the bread(s) better able to soak up the liquids in the stuffing. (I also already sauteed some sliced mushrooms and a diced onion last week and froze it for this stuffing. It is thawing now, and I also plan to make the same basic onion and celery sautee that you showed here. I don't normally care for celery, but I would not want to eat any stuffing (dressing) that didn't have plenty of celery in it. Funny thing! I did try making the stuffing a few years ago -- last time I made it -- using sauteed mushrooms and it came out great. I don't care for the flavor of green bell pepper in any of my food, but the green is unripe and there is a totally different flavor with the red, yellow or orange bell pepper. I plan to add one bell pepper to the mixture. Lastly, thank you again for your wonderful video. You are such a very PLEASANT person and it just oozes out of you. I know I'm making too much of this as I don't have a whole family to feed, but I love stuffing so much I just can't help it, haha.

[@michaelgardner800]

Hi Ms. Carrie, first off, my dad’s mothers first name was Carrie and I have a niece named after her. Enjoyed watching because you remined me so much of my mom on Thanksgiving. She would be up way before the chickens getting the Tuckey in the oven, why because it was big bird around 25 pounds. The reason for such a large bird was because counting mom and dad there was ten of us to feed and later years a lot more once we married. Dressing, our mom had to make a lot and I do mean a lot. Again, thanks for taking me back home, you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving!

[@violetbennett2407]

I am watching your cooking at about midnight and you are starving me. Your dressing is looking great. You are a good soul food cook. I used to cook like you but now I am 82 years old now and I don’t cook anymore. Enjoy your good food and your family. God bless you all.
