Old Fashion Cornbread Dressing and Chicken Gravy

Old Fashion Cornbread Dressing and Chicken Gravy
Marie is showing how we make her old fashioned cornbread dressing and chicken gravy. Marie has been making dressing like this for fifty years. She learned how to make great dressing from her grandmother. The gravy is a shortcut for making a great chicken gravy without a lot of work. We hope that you enjoy this video.

When I was growing up, I always tried to help my mother cook. I always helped make the dressing. Alot of people do not really do not know how to make it. We used to have dressing all year round, not just at Thanksgiving. I love chicken breasts with the bone, they do have more flavor. Some grocery stores do not even sell them but the boneless. My mother would cook a larger whole chicken she called a hen. LOL She always put cornbread, day old bread toasted, pepperidge farm seasoning a few crackers, egg, sage, chicken broth and just a pinch of baking powder, why she did that I do not know. LOL My aunt used to say it made it fluffy. LOL I try to cook like my mother did and I do not stir it, I toss it. I put pats of butter on top, and it is really good frozen too. I learned so much from my mother, and at the holidays, I try to honor her memory and fix desserts like she used to make. I do not buy fresh coconuts anymore and grate them by hand, I use the frozen coconut. It is just as good. Holidays are especially hard for me because I miss my mother so much. I am going to try your recipe for dressing, it sounds so good. It is funny, I do not have a recipe, a little this and a little of that. I never thought I would be able to cook kinda like her. LOL I enjoy your videos so much. Marie and Calvin, yall are so special to me.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much, we appreciate you watching our videos. Happy Thanksgiving, Calvin and Marie

Lovely memories! I miss my Mother so much😢 Happy Thanksgiving

[@Deborah4Antiques]

I agree, I don't like my dressing fussed up with a lot of odd things. I stick with tried and true! I live that way too! Best Regards, Deb😊

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Deb

[@KathleenCalhoun-em6ys]

Greetings, Cal and Marie❤. I wanted to tell Marie that I made a dinner printed on back of a Campbells turkey gravy can using center-cut pork chops breaded in Pepperidge Farm herb dressing covered in the gravy--talk about easy and delicious. I'm not finished. I also made Marie's green beans as a side which I wrote down at one time for later use, using chicken broth, bacon, and 2 T. brown sugar, etc, and my friend told me it was really good. She enjoyed how it tasted, and so did I. That will be my go-to recipe from now on for side dish green beans. Cooking down those beans until the broth evaporates really makes a difference compared to just heating them up for five minutes till warm.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Kathleen. That sounds delicious. We love green beans cooked like that.

[@rennierad]

Marie your cornbread stuffing looks amazing. We will definitely make this recipe. You both be safe on your travels. ❤💕 Much love, Rennie

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Rennie

[@harrietlivengood6793]

Marie, this is exactly the recipe my grandma used, my mama used and the one I use. You can’t beat the flavor, it’s delicious! God bless you and Calvin and I pray you and your family will have a blessed Thanksgiving.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Harriet. Happy Thanksgiving, Calvin and Marie

[@giacngoaudio]

What a brilliant idea. Easy to make, tasty, and a crowd pleaser.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Absolutely! Thanks very much

[@diannedutton6127]

Looks so good, my favorite is the dressing at Thanksgiving. This is how I make my dressing.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@debbieskitchen2]

I used to make my own cornbread too and make cornbread like Momma did. I now buy the Pepperidge Farms cornbread stuffing mix. Looks good Marie.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Debbie

[@melissabibby7310]

Looks mouthwatering! Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.👍🥰😋

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thank you! You too!

[@maurinadittenhaffer6140]

I know this is delicious. I would like to eat it right now. I put carrots in my dressing along with the celery and onions. I think I will add cornbread to mine this year.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Maurina

[@lukedawg357SIG]

Dressing is my favorite thanks for the video take care.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Mine too! Thanks very much

[@maureenbegas2856]

Wowwwwwww!!! I can’t wait to make a cake like this!!! I’ve always adored any flavor of “poke cakes”. Never made one correctly. Now I understand where I was making a mistake. Heating the preserves is key to being able to distribute the fruit evenly. Can’t wait! Thank you for sharing your recipe. You two are very kind and sweet to each other. I appreciate watching the two of you being so kind to each other. True love. Lots of aloha continue to be sent to you and yours.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@mghayes9489]

The recipe sound Yummy. It's different from the one we've always used. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

That dressing looks delicious, I live alone so will cut the recipe down, but it’s a must try! Thank you Marie for sharing!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Paula

[@dianekelley6559]

Marie, the only difference in my recipe and yours is I add about 1 cup of the unbaked dressing to the gravy mixture. Everyone thinks it’s giblet gravy. Great recipe and demonstration. I enjoy your channel. ❤

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Sounds great! Thanks very much

[@san5987]

I saved this video to watch later and it's April and I'm just watching it on solar eclipse day. Lol I think I'll try to make this pretty soon

[@csnanny1882]

Marie I make my dressing just exactly like you make yours, it really looks good. But I haven’t make any for a few years. Most everyone uses the store box stuff now, but I still like the old fashion way. God bless, have a good Thanksgiving, I send my love and prayers.

Looks so delicious! I live in the North and we call it stuffing, but I would love your old fashioned cornbread dressing! You are an amazing cook!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@vickiecrouch6041]

I was told stuffing is in the bird. Dressing is in the pan. I prefer dressing. Marie's looked wonderful!

[@michele-kt]

Yes, we call it stuffing too whether in the bird or in a pan! LOL! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Margaret. We appreciate you watching our videos. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving, Marie and Calvin

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

That looked real good Marie as always. I will have to wait until Thanksgiving to eat some dressing but that will be alright. Your dressing looks moist and not dried out. That is the way we eat ours. Sometime people have their dressing a little to dry Lol! happy Thanksgiving y'all and God Bless! Justin

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Justin

[@sharonnunn3385]

My mouth is watering! This looks so comforting and yummy. My mom makes her potato stuffing every year and it’s delicious - but I love cornbread dressing and will probably make some next week to go with our Thanksgiving leftovers. 😊 Thanks for a great recipe!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Sounds great! Thanks very much Sharon

That looks so DELICIOUS. I've never made biscuits before. I've only used the ones in the can. Do you have a recipe for making those? I am definitely making this and not waiting for turkey day😂

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much, it is one of our favorite meals. This is a video for our biscuits. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foG1Y6ioYsuXppIsi=EfEGgStnFnpbnX1L

Hi my lovely's, good to see you again. The music you play i love, could you let me know who that singer is please. I hope you both are well and taking it easy. Love being with you both. Xx❤❤

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

The song at the first of this video is: "Merry Christmas Day" By the Stonekeepers

[@paulabriggins8242]

Aww bless your heart, thank you so much for getting back to me. Take care of each other, love you both lots xx

[@DSP6877]

Hi Marie. your dressing looks really good. Why do you put eggs in your gravy? Marie i have the same issues that you do .I started passing out.I have been in the hospital 2 or 3 times.I get to dehydrated . I can't drink a lot. I was looking at your hands as you wear cooking. You fingers swell just like mine. I can't wear my rings anymore i miss them.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much. We have been making gravy with eggs in it for as long as we can remember. They are not necessary but that is how we do it. Dehydration is a hard problem to deal with. Calvin watches me closely to make sure that I eat enough and drink as much liquid as possible.
