Cornbread And Bacon Stuffing Dressing B

Dressing, stuffing, whatever, this is just good. I modified the instructions slightly, but the recipe came form my better homes and garden cookbook that's absolutely ancient. See note at bottom on how to make a vegetarian version.

Steps

Preheat oven to 350.

Saute the onions and celery in the bacon drippings , until soft but not browned.

Let cool slightly.

Toss the cornbread , bread , bacon , poultry seasoning , parsley , salt and pepper until mixed well.

Add the cooked celery and onions and toss to mix well.

Add the eggs and 1 cup of the chicken broth and stir to moisten , adding as much broth as needed.

This is a personal taste decision.

I like my dressing moist so i add broth until i have a very wet mixture.

Any type pan will work for baking.

I generally use a 8 x 8 disposable pan , but if i am making a double batch i use a 9 x 13 pan.

Bake for 30 min , uncovered , or until golden on top.

This is enough to stuff an 8 to 10 lb turkey , if you so desired.

Also--if you save leftover pieces of cornbread / bread heels in a ziploc bag in your freezer , you will have half the work already done when your ready to make this.
