Thank you Paula for the recipe. I'm a black woman from NJ and my family is from Georgia and my Grandma used to make the best dressing from scratch she's passed on now and I loved her dressing and watching you make this made me so happy with the best memories of her cooking. To me Georgia women are the best cooks. Happy Thanksgiving and many blessings to you and yours. I'm making this for my Thanksgiving this year.

We need to see more ladies who are older and more experienced.

[@christyinthecarolinas]

No offense to my northern friends. But I was away from home one year for Thanksgiving and this nice family invited me over for dinner. The lady of the house fixed everyone's plate for them. You didn't have a choice. But I'll never forget she put 2 types of dressing on my plate. One with cranberries and pecans and another with oysters. I was raised you eat what's on your plate and you don't complain. I didn't think I was gonna make it through that dinner lol. I made myself eat it but I was so sick. I appreciated her having me into her home and I would have never been rude. But Lord have mercy. It wasn't good.

Midwestern girl here...was raised on my mother’s Chestnut stuffing. I remember many years of baking a zillion chestnuts and then peeling them open. She would still stuff the turkey, but this was back in the day, and used all white bread, eggs, chicken broth, celery, onions, etc. It was the best ever, and she made a fantastic gravy from the turkey. I learned all my cooking skills from my mother (and now youtube). She passed in 1993, but I still make her dishes every year. I’m married to a Southerner, so he’s used to cornbread stuffing, but loves my mom’s chestnut stuffing. These times bring up so many happy memories. P.S. Better than Bouillon is amazing, love it!!!! Edited to add: of course my mom’s stuffing involves a LOT of butter 😊

I never use jiffy for dressing ..I use it when making cornbread for beans

[@nomizak]

Jiffy actually makes a non sweet version of their corn bread mix. Id generally use it to make the cornbread that goes into the dressing. My mom used a combination of that, bread, and those preseasoned bread crumbs you get in those plastic bags.(not stove top stuffing or any of that crap - it was just preseasoned breadcrumbs) Also I dont care for Paula's wet style dressing. We always ate our where you had to slice it with a knife and it was super brown and crusty on top. Dang I miss that dressing! My mom would make up several batches at Thanksgiving and freeze them. Then we'd eat them through out the year. I still hate celery to this day but in my mom's dressing I would eat it.

Dressing is my favorite part of the meal. I used to buy stock in a box for years & a few years ago I bought the base in the jar, same that you are using. Got it at Costco. Their jars are huge & they last a long time in the refrigerator. The box is good too but you have to watch the expiration date. The grocery stores sell them too but much smaller.

[@grammyb5216]

You can certainly do this! It is so simple, which is why it is so delicious. My mother always put diced Red Delicious Apple In the dressing. I wish I could just show you how. Dice your celery and onion... the night before. Store everything separate. You don’t want them to take on the flavor of anything “extra”. Use the very best stock you can find. The stock is so important. If you don’t like the taste before adding it to your dressing, don’t put it in there. I use Swanson Chicken Stock or an organic stock to supplement the Turkey stock. When you add the stock, it should look like you’ve used too much and seem too wet. Don’t forget that as it cooks, it will absorb a lot of stock. Good luck! You will love doing this. Each time you make it, it becomes more YOUR OWN! God bless you and Happy 🦃 Eating! 🙏🤠

To me, my mother made the best dressing ever and she only used salt, black pepper, onion, celery, bell pepper, chicken broth made from boiling from a small whole chicken and melted butter. After mixing the dressing, she would tear the chicken up and mix it inside the dressing and bake. The best ever. She made butter milk cornbread. I have never been able to appreciate the least favor of sage.

Thanks Paula! My mother would always bake her cornbread the day before Thanksgiving and Christmas and then crumble it up. The the next day, Thanksgiving and Christmas she would always have Biscuits and Gravy for breakfast. She would always make more biscuits than we ate so she could put the leftover biscuits in the Dressing. She never used plain bread. She had celery & onions like you made it in her dressing, only we love sage!! We have always used more sage than you do, but that’s just what we prefer!

And Nova Scotia! This is exactly how my grammie made hers except for summer savory instead of sage. Deeelicious! Interesting to know about dressing stuffed inside the turkey. I’ve been doing that for years but don’t think I will anymore!

[@darlenenelson9646]

@@andreaelayyan9865 yup Nova Scotia....I was always told if you stuff your turkey and cook it right away your good, but never leave the dressing sitting in a raw turkey....I’ve been doing it for 40 years

[@andreaelayyan9865]

Oh that’s good to know. I do love the dressing inside the turkey too - it’s the best because it gets crispy around the edges and extra juicy from the turkey juices. Yum! May have to do Thanksgiving again this year! 🤪

My Mama made the best cornbread dressing. But she made homemade buttermilk biscuits and the homemade cornbread. She would boil 2 hens and use that stock. Do delicious.

UPDATE: It was a total hit!!! Made this for tonight's Friendsgiving I was invited to and this was my very first time making dressing! Everyone loved it! My friend's husband told me that he never eats dressing but this dressing he said was delicious! Thank you Paula Deen!!!!! 😊 ❤ I have never made dressing. I've always used stove top stuffing from a box. I was invited to a friendsgiving potluck, which is tomorrow and was asked to bring dressing. So I was like oh no! Lol 😆 luckily I came across your recipee! So I went to the grocery store and bought all the ingredients. So I put the bread in the oven tonight for 30 minutes at 250 degrees and is too toasty compared to yours in the video it looks soft, I'm going to toss it and try again tomorrow....this time I will check on it every 5 minutes! I will let you know how it turns out! Can't wait! Thanks for sharing your recipe! 🙂

You can freeze this with all the ingredients. Freezing eggs is completely safe. Then take it out put in the oven frozen to cook.

I started fixing our family cornbread dressing when I was 14 and I'm 62 now. I have used either poultry seasoning or sage depending on what I had on hand. We like to add a little bread to it help it bind a little better. (I use Patridge Farm croutons). I make my cornbread with all my herbs cooked in it. I add my onions and celery and stir it up. I find smelling it the best way to make sure the herb blend is right. I usually make it enough for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I freeze half before any liquid are added. Then I dump in the liquids (and chicken if adding it) to wet oatmeal look. I put foil around the edges so they don't burn. Yummy Yummy I'm a Southern Lady and the south is in my DNA!

My mama saved hamburger buns, heels of bread and pieces of cornbread for a month in the freezer before Thanksgiving. I remember her putting all those leftover breads on a cookie sheet and toasting them in the oven Thanksgiving morning.

[@bbetter746]

I make my dressing at least a week ahead of time and freeze it until the day of. And I use probably a half container of sage for a 9x13 pan. We love it very flavorful. Mine is also as wet or wetter before cooking. I guess it’s all in what you’re used to. 🙂

[@jewelrichards624]

I'm from Nebr. Now live in Texas. We don't do fruit & nuts ! Maybe that's a Yankee thing on east coast. We do corn bread, dried bread, celery, onion . I do add Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage (hot). It is so flavorful. Mix it all of course chicken broth, eggs etc.and bake. HAPPY 2020 THANKSGIVING YOU GUYS❣

"Better than Boulion" is far less salty too. You get a strong flavor without the salt. They have turkey base, look online, they have about 10 flavors. Edit: for Thanksgiving, my dressing has to have turkey stock.

[@nativevirginian8344]

Mama makes my grandmother’s recipe, all we use to make it moist is butter and buttermilk. Mama and I both gag at chicken broth. The cornbread is simple, corn meal, buttermilk and oil. We add only onions, celery, cut up boiled eggs, salt and sage. Cook it right off. We eat on it for days after Thanksgiving. I’m like you Miss Paula, why do we only do it once a year?

Thank you Thank You Thank You Paula! I followed your recipe, except I didn’t add bread and crackers, and it did look very wet, but after it baked it was perfect, best dressing I’ve ever made!!!!!

[@maliasavage9767]

The eggs are the reason it goes rancid. If you leave out the eggs it will keep for up to three days in the fridge before baking, and it was still wonderful! I haven't tried any longer than that. Also, you can still stuff your Turkey with the dressing as long as you leave out the eggs! I never put eggs in mine anymore and it takes nothing away from the amazing flavor.
