How many of y'all like oyster dressing at Thanksgiving?

[@philineasewatts362]

No wayyyy

[@philineasewatts362]

🤮

[@eltonlouiewolf-wilson8345]

My grandmother (b. 1917) used to make this in New Bern, NC. And she always made 2 batches--1 with and 1 without oysters!!

[@minasworld_]

I’m gonna try this! I love both oysters and cornbread dressing! Thanks for the recipe

[@shereerushing9589]

Thank u for this awesome recipe. Have a Bless thanksgiving!!

[@velveetadingleberries6949]

it's so great to wake up everyday to a new paula deen cooking video.

[@agirlsinger]

Hi Paula as I’m listening to this you are just beginning to sauté your vegetables and talking about southern cornbread dressing. I’m reminiscing thinking about my grandmother who was from Georgia and I am a native California 62 years old. Her dressing was always so amazingly delicious and sadly no one ever wrote the recipe down. So I just want to say to everyone please please get your grandmas to write their recipes❤️

[@lynnwilliams8295]

That’s so true! Write it down. My Mom always made the dressing (just regular dressing, not oyster) and it was a favorite of everyone. After she passed we have tried to recreate it knowing the basic ingredients she used and while it gets close there is something lacking and isn’t quite as good as Moms

[@karenstephens8788]

I got my grandmother to write hers down. Now, I’m the one who makes it every year and it’s always a hit.

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

I like these traditional recipes. They just bring back memories of times long gone. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@OneHotNana]

I’m born and raised in the south and I love cornbread dressing! I can’t imagine biting into a slimy oyster!

[@southerngirl7425]

Ik lots of non luvn oyster ppl that love this dressing....tbh ya cant taste the oysters the way you'd think... It's not like shucking and eatn oysters I promise 😋

[@larrymcclain8874]

When cooked an oyster is not slimy. Almost reminds me of eating a cooked chicken liver, though the taste is not the same.

[@ElaineMurley]

@@OneHotNana I agree with you I made 2 pans of cornbread dressing Oysters sound horrible!!

[@babybluemushu]

I'm in the North, but raised by my MaMaw & PaPaw who were Southerners! I only know cornbread (and chicken) dressing like you make! And it ain't dressing if it ain't got sage & or poultry seasoning! 😂

[@JudyKratz]

Oyster dressing is my dive heart😊😊

[@cynthiaharrell2144]

Love southern cornbread dressing. Was blessed to have a Mother from Tennessee.❤

[@sharonelrod5390]

I always put in smaller containers in fridge to cool it down. Or flash freeze to cook it down. But i normally just cook it after making it. Just a skace to the foods. Especially for holidays 😜

[@leepope3377]

My big mama used to make oyster dressing every Christmas. My mother made it some after she passed, but it was forgotten years ago. Thank you! Now I can make it again for myself and remember my mama.

[@carolalexander1429]

My great grandmother always made oyster dressing. It has a unique flavor and I never noticed the oysters. She must have cut them up, too.

[@chrisbond6823]

Hello Ms. Paula, I'm from Savannah and remember when you were cooking meals in the hotel. I have so many friends come from everywhere wanting to eat at your restaurants, could not believe you had one in Myrtle Beach. You go girl!!!!!!

[@Nancedoc]

Good old southern cooking at it's best... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@babybluemushu]

It's hard to find fresh oysters here in the Midwest, but my PaPaw taught me to make oyster dressing with canned oysters & canned smoked oysters. 😋 😋 😋

[@Bmaki539]

Just get it sloppy….that is how my sister and know when my Grandma’s oyster dressing. We use cracker instead of corn bred, we also add pats of butter on top.

[@nancybennett9265]

My grandmother made a dish she called oyster dressing but she used rice instead of cornbread. My dad loved it. I never developed a taste for oysters so i never learned how to make it. I wish i had, dad really missed grandma and I think it would have been a comfort for him.

[@42mrleo]

Man I so miss her I’m glad she’s on KZbin

[@vc5385]

My Dad, used to love oyster dressing, we lost him in 1991...my Mom, would make an entire casserole dish, and she would double the amount of oysters, simply because that was the way he truly enjoyed it, and he was the only person who ate it... I remember my Dad, shucking the oysters on the porch, one in the bowl, and one in his mouth...

[@chrisbond6823]

Thank you Ms. Paula, We live just outside of Savannah. You rock! Thanks for your recepies. !!!!

[@jude2009]

We love it in pa too. But made different. No matter both are awesome

[@colleenmurphy3776]

Trying to get ready for the Holidays

[@Ginna_M]

I grew up with oyster dressing very similar to yours. Nothing in the world better! Have a great Thanksgiving.

[@foxgloved1]

this southern girl loves and makes sausage stuffing,always

[@Daytonagail]

I know many people love oyster dressing. I have never been a fan of it but Paula, you make everything look delicious!

[@jayniekinser7029]

Keep it positive. Something I’ve learned about social media is the importance of “if you can’t say something nice, it doesn’t need to be said”.

[@joniweaver7394]

Hey Paula!❤ Watching you making your dressing today, brought back a wonderful memory of my mother making smoked oyster dressing for us one Thanksgiving. It was wonderfully delicious, with that smoked oyster flavor. 😋 Thank you Paula, for bringing a fond and tasteful holiday memory back to me!😊 Happy Thanksgiving!🍁🍂🥧🍗🥗😄 I

[@jolenemcgee9446]

I put mine on the burner everytime…. And I put bacon drippings in there, I fry the bottom for a minute, before I put it in the oven ❤️yum

[@ElaineMurley]

B😊eautiful

[@karenstephens8788]

My grandmother taught me to cook mine in the skillet first to get that nice crust on it.

[@cayogator]

One of my Cajun Aunts made this EVERY Thanksgiving....I love it !

[@j_h_rden]

i've only ever made YOUR stuffing and it's the best around! this made my mouth water. i cant WAIT for thanksgiving!

[@maryrinks8383]

My mom made regular stuffing but added oysters to it .had every year that way. My sister kept up tradition.

[@tammyreilly9889]

Looks delicious Miss Paula!! Thank you for the video and the step by step instructions! Can’t wait to try this recipe for Oyster Dressing!!

[@sandyhenson5875]

Happy new year to you and family 😊 💓 God bless yall 😋 ❤️

[@lindahumes9483]

Paula your dressing recipes, this one and the one with homemade cornbread and sleeve of crackers are the best recipes for dressing I have ever tasted. I'm 74 and have tasted many!! Have a great rest of your day, Paula, Theresa, Eddie, Michael and the rest of your beautiful family. 💛

[@sherryrethwisch9589]

missed the sleeve of crackers

[@lindahumes9483]

@@sherryrethwisch9589 Ditto!🤔

[@dnadineh]

We have oyster dressing on Christmas

[@classiccuisine7001]

Adding eggs last is a great tip that I will use in the future.

[@ritabrunetti381]

Hello Paula, Theresa and Eddy. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!! 🥰🦃

[@bonniebrown6960]

I still have the oyster dressing recipe Paula shared from when she still had her cooking show. I wrote it down years ago.

[@bethanyryan404]

Never hear of oyster dressing until today. Wow! Looks good. 😊

[@ashmurran]

My grandma has been making oyster dressing for years for thanksgiving and let me tell ya, if you like seafood and folks in ya family do too, this is it! ❤

[@kentuckianaboy]

Thank you, Ms. Deen! I’ve been waiting for a simpler oyster 🦪 stuffing recipe! God Bless!

[@eponine318]

This is very similar to my mom's cornbread dressing minus the oysters.

[@aj529]

We always use a fine diced egg and the liver diced very fine as well. My dressing is very much like yours Ms. Paula but I will add about 4 large pieces of chicken to it. That Oyster dressing looks amazing! I love Oysters.

[@karenstephens8788]

I use a ton of sage in my cornbread dressing. I use almost a full bottle. My family loves it extra sagey.

[@tashawhite3500]

This 8s what my mama made every year w the oysters

[@Jude300c]

I would love to try this. It seriously sounds delicious

[@tinaE.CanadianChick]

Are Canadian Thanksgiving Was In October So Wish I Had Your Oyster Dressing Recipe:) So Instead I'll Make It For Christmas😋Thanks Paula❄🎄

[@worldofthesupernatural]

This is funny to me because I’m a Chicago gal and here it’s the giblets. We have one dressing with giblets and one without 😂❤

[@downingkris7921]

Love that bucket!!! I want it!!..Wish I could eat oysters...looks great!!!!

[@mysongs740]

I was raised with corn bread dressing at every Thanksgiving. The recipe was my great grandmother's. Not sure if it goes back further. We only use corn bread. No bread or saltines.

[@darlenenichols9658]

My Mouth is Totally watering right now.. Love you and your Delish recipes Paula.. Happy Holiday's to all..💖

[@Chocoboboy7]

I need to try this for thanksgiving.

[@sallyrucker8990]

That’s how my Grammie always said, make sure it’s sloppy before you place it in the oven.

[@cwstyle3]

Hi Paula. Another delicious meal of dressing with oysters. I’ve never had this dressing before. It looks moist like you mentioned and good. Happy Thanksgiving to you and family 💕

[@emiliagarcia6868]

Good morning Paula 🌅 Looks delicious 😋 I love oysters, going to have to try this recipe, Yum 😋

[@redvelvet1660]

You gone have me to make 2 different dressings now 😩 I LOVE oysters

[@annamariegotschall2874]

If I would make this and not our traditional family dressing my family would disown me. None of us like oysters at all. Our family dressing is really really good stuff. So ty I'll pass on this one.

[@sammyhakimvlogs5608]

This Oyster Dressing recipe looks so delicious, 😋 Paula.

[@marysmith6566]

It looks delicious! So did the sleeve of crackers go in also?

[@maryanne4595]

Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃🍽🍁

[@EJ-zs8ll]

Wassup Mrs Paula Deen ‼️ you know you taught me how make cornbread dressing many of years ago from your first food network show. I will always remember that😊 love ya 😚 stay safe and blessed my friend ❤️🙏🙌😇💯

[@jenniferbarnes1053]

That looked amazing. I love oysters. And home made dressing. I think dressing is best when dipped I'm not a fan of dressing when it's cooked so long people cut it like cake and I only use a hint of sage. Some people over load it. Lol But it's all in what you like I know

[@debbiehicks1646]

This was my first batch of oyster dressing and it was a success! I’ll be making this from m.now on. Thank you, Paula Deen!

[@mddell58]

So, my mom was from the hills of southeastern Kentucky, & she'd get her big cast iron skillet 🍳 super-hot by placing it in a 450° oven for about 20 minutes, & then she'd pour her batter in it, ..... Boy, would it sizzle & semi-fry. (she'd put about 2 TBSP of good oil/fat in bottom. ) Our family never cared for a huge amount of sage. If you use sage, it can over-power the entire taste of everything else. So, beware. (my mom, sadly, has been gone for 35 years now. Only 47, & brain tumor is what killed her. (Oh my, I was only 28 years old) ♥️ I miss her so much. ♥️

[@asweetnspicyginger2443]

You might get me to try oysters again Miss Paula.

[@carmelscott1706]

OMG, Paula! LOL. I just laughed out loud, literally, when you said that some people like their dressing almost like croutons, I think that is the only way most, not all, Canadians like their dressing. It can still be quite moist even when you can see the individual pieces of cubed bread. Your dressing looks really yummy, too. Not too sure about the oysters, but otherwise, yum!

[@michelekirby7907]

Wow... bet that beats Stovetop y'all. I had no idea about the degree of wetness and eggs! I was thinking "pancake batter consistency? That's nuts".. but now I see what I've been missing! Blessings on you & yours.

[@paulj.thaddaios]

That is EXACTLY how my family likes it!

[@bricelewis7869]

If i wanted to make this gluten free could I substitute a gluten free cornbread mix?

[@kimberlybrewerlife53]

Wow! Ms. Paula! THAT LOOKS AMAZING! I LOVE DRESSING!=ANY KIND! I'M SURE GONNA MAKE THAT. YES*I*AM! THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS MS. PAULA! I COOK ALOT* BASED ON YOUR VIDEOS/RECIPES! I LOVE YA! BEST WISHES' & DISHES' lol! ... Sincerely, Kim* from *South East *MISSISSIPPI!,!/the beautiful gulf coast!

[@jerrykeenan1848]

Thanks so much!

[@JonathanLHyers]

Ya know, I would love to see you and Amy Murray cook something together. I love watching you both on KZbin.

[@lindaleathers4696]

My mother in law taught all the girls how to make cornbread dressing almost the same way as yours! About the only difference was the sleeve of crackers! Never use those! My dear mother in law passed away this pass year but hopefully her dressing will be on al the girls table . Also her candied yams !

[@iluvmusic1710]

That looks yum❤

[@ShirleyAnn]

I love my dressing moist also

[@billjohnson717]

Not the only thing I love moist

[@colleenmurphy3776]

Can I make this in a crockpot or air fryer

[@colleenbuum5554]

I mfromoklhoma Just cornbread stuffing❤

[@marysewitsky4823]

It’s funny you don’t like the white cord on eggs, I feel the same about raw oysters. The rest looks great though. Thanks for keeping us all sane through the last almost 3 years

[@mddell58]

But, they're not left raw. 😃👍

[@knowledgetracker]

Don't overmix your dressing or it will be gummy because it will break down the glutens too much.

[@heidid5275]

My family doesn't care for sage, either. My husband can walk in the kitchen and smell it in the air if I use a mix that might have it in it! Your stuffing looks delicious.....Minus the oysters! 😂

[@tranacebattie6870]

Cornbread in oyster dressing we use French bread

[@navaleah8663]

The key to moist dressing: Keep adding stock Until it looks like slop.

[@lizklein3058]

I used to love to eat a bowl of raw dressing before eggs were added it was always good.

[@pamsummers1176]

My dad used to make Oyster Dressing every Thanksgiving, mom would make Stove Top in a box!😂 Dads was delicious and we are from Missouri, so even us dam Yankees, know how to cook !😂❤

[@cindystuder9090]

My great grandmother always made oyster dressing as did my grandmother and my mom. My sisters and I love it but our spouses and our kids (traitors) don't. We make them a separate dressing. We call their dressing snowflake stuffing. 😂

[@knowledgetracker]

You forgot to say that you would also add salt to the plain flour if it wasn't self rising. It has both soda and salt.

[@zacharylavender1568]

My mama’s dressing never soured! She would make it the day before and once it was cooled….she would keep it in the fridge.

[@colleenmurphy3776]

Do you know how to cook boiled pig feet in a crockpot? Also can you

[@wendyzanders7284]

Good morning, everyone

[@sharicooper-michener8177]

I make both oyster and cornbread dreassings. You have an electrical something on you counter in back of you next to your stove. Please tell me what that is. Yes I am nosey.

[@infiniflute]

😂 You can tell Teresa has been working for Ms Paula for a long time the way she cleans after her the whole time

[@PhancyPants99]

She's only started doing that during filming recently, and I dont know about you but I find it annoying.

[@josephivey645]

Teresa gets on our nerves. Lol

[@janetclassen1144]

I used to have a sister in law who put so much sage in her dressing that it was hot. She would go on & on about how good it was but it was really bad

[@chrisbond6823]

I love cooking , can I borrow your assistant?

[@sharonelrod5390]

Ive never ever have eaten an oyster. In any form

[@navaleah8663]

A teaspoon of sage? Why bother? That would just make me mad. Didn't notice you adding salt and pepper to it neither. Don't know about oyster dressing, lived in Macon for a few years but that's not near enough to the sea to get hooked on oysters. My cornbread dressing has straight cornbread in it, no sandwich bread at all. Make cornbread with sr cornmeal, egg, a scant tsp of sugar to enhance the natural flavor of the cornmeal, and buttermilk, then there's bacon grease in the cast iron skillet that's getting hotter than a firecracker in the oven, pour some of that hot grease in the batter and fold it in right quick, then you'll hear it sizzle when you pour it in the skillet. Though dressing is supposed to be a side show, I always have to make enough to feed an army. Sautee up your onions and only a few small ribs of celery (the flavor can be too overpowering for those that don't like it at all), add that to the cornbread, add a hefty amount of sage, salt, black pepper, beaten eggs, add enough stock until it looks like slop, then I'll fold in some large dice boiled eggs, and if you want to add chicken, add it with the eggs, then pop it in the oven. Dressing, truly Southern dressing, is all about the sage. Others have twisted it and contorted it and flipped it upside down until it no longer resembles anything like it was meant to be.

[@colleenmurphy3776]

But never knew how to make it

[@brandihowell4740]

I think I missed the cooking temp/time…anyone?

[@feistygrandma2636]

You don't want to put butter in your dress and you don't want to put eggs in your dress dressing is very simple you put your meat your celery your onions your water you say your salt your pepper your garlic that is your broth you want to make it as healthy as possible you already have a ids in your cornbread and the broth will bind it together and you don't saute your vegetables you let the onions do that when you put your dressing together and put it in the oven it would do it just fine period can't for your oysters you just need one jar to make some excellent oyster dressing don't overdo it please don't overdo it less is more believe me. Sage is the main ingredient to make stuffing or dressing lol 😂😏

[@adventureswithlola5330]

Poor Theresa 😒

[@jayniekinser7029]

I watch for several reasons: Good cooking but I just like Paula . I’m 67. She’s like a relative.

[@pelayoasturias6650]

Me!

[@zacharylavender1568]

Most black families don’t make oyster dressing. However, their most common is turkey, chicken, duck or sausage dressing.

[@sheliamiller3185]

I'm with you abou oysters I don't like them and I was born and raised in the south now my brother and Mama likes them.
