Betty's Southern Cornbread-Sage Dressing Recipe

[ratio1bikes]

cut the bell pepper,onion and celery in small pieces so the people will enjoy it.

[ratio1bikes]

you can cook your corn bread 2 or three weeks ahead and freeze it, also i use 2stalks of celery 1 bell pepper freeze it in a zip loc bag Dont freeze the the onion,1whole onion.on the day you cook, use in a skillet use a half stick of butter or whatever u use,put all the frozen bell pepper,celery and add onion to the butter.in your dressing pan butter it and crumble the frozen corn bread then add seasoning or stock. I use poultry and sage to mine.then cook for45 min to brown on top.

my mom used to make this on holiday dinners regularly--she would make this with turkey or whole baked ckicken and sometimes with duck. She was real good with that. She did everything by taste and wouldnt give no one her recipes. I wanna learn how to make this, i will follow your videos.

[bettyskitchen]

@BNforever2009 A lot of my recipes came from my mother (who never wrote the recipes down). I have had to figure out the amounts on everything!

I Just moved up to L.A., orignally from West Texas and having to do my own Thanksgiving cooking this year. I looked through alot of videos and finally came across yours. It was so helpful.  I love the simpicity of southern foods and also the memories it brings back.... Thanks So much Betty

Question: Can this dressing be put

together the night before and then

cooked the next day? I was wondering

about all the liquid it would be sitting

in over night.

[buttafly312]

Hi Betty. Your a life saver. I needed a dressing recipe and I came upon this

one. This is so easy and I know it's

going to taste great. I will be making

this for thanksgiving. Thank You!

HI Betty! I was reading your ingrediants& I noticed your recipe said 2 use

"ground sage" & all I had was rubbed sage in my pantry.I wondered if I should buy another 1 or not. I didn't know so I did re-buy it, but this time I bought ground sage like your said. My question is what is the difference in the two? I looked at the rubbed sage before I went 2 the store& it looked in some places sorta like green cotton.That's the only way I can think 2 say it lol. What's the difference in the 2 ways?

[bettyskitchen]

@ohpineapples Ground sage is the whole chopped leaf. Rubbed is the outer soft fluffy part with the majority of the flavor. It would be okay to use them interchangeably.

Betty I will be making this also for my thanksgiving this year. I will be making enough to stuff about a 18 pound turkey. I figured out on my own how much what ingrediants to doubled. What I need to know since I will be making quite a bit more than what you have on your video is ...how much Sage should I put in?? I don't think that 1 teaspoon of sage will be enough. My question to you is how much Sage should I use to make enough for a 9X13X2 inch casserole dish? Thanks a bunch!

[bettyskitchen]

@ohpineapples For 13 x 9 x 2, I would use 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons).

--Betty :)

[alow99]

just like my mom & grandmaw made & of course I am following this way,sometime I use the sweeter cornbread & sometime the reg. either way it"s delicious!

[eastnybabe]

this is the closest to how my mom makes it.....how much stuffing do you think i need to make for 30 people? this is my first time doing it...:)

[bettyskitchen]

@eastnybabe You should probably double this recipe and then bake it in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan or a10 x 15 x 2-inch baking dish to make a generous serving for everyone, assuming that you will have a variety of foods in your meal.

[mauimom67]

It wouldn't be so bad I guess but I live on Maui and we are in our swim suits year round, so even a few pounds can really betray me. Haha.

[mauimom67]

Aloha again Betty, love your recipes and your vids, only one problem....you are making me fat! Haha.

[naturalb3auty1]

so i can stuff my turkey when im done mixing the ingredients & just bake it along with the turkey???

[bettyskitchen]

@naturalb3auty1 Yes. You will not need to add as much broth if you are stuffing the turkey. Just add enough broth to make it nice and moist, but I go beyond that if I'm baking it in a casserole dish.

--Betty :)

[grandmacheapcheap]

I'll be using your recipe for my Thanksgiving stuffing. Is your cornbread from a mix or homemade. Can I use a Jiffy cornbread mix?

[bettyskitchen]

@grandmacheapcheap Mine was homemade, but Jiffy Mix will be fine--I like that little bit of sweetness that it adds!

--Betty :)

[onegrams]

Thanks for the video... what kind of gravy would you use to put on this...???? I saw a show today where they had cornbread dressing and they put a brown gravy on top... it looked awesome.... Thanks for sharing..

[bettyskitchen]

@onegrams You can make wonderful brown gravy from a packaged mix if you don't have broth. If you have turkey broth, then use that for the gravy. (You will find gravy with my roast recipes--turkey, beef, etc.)

--Betty :)

[ciaraneccole21]

@bettyskitchen okay i suggest for gravy u mix butter cream of mushroom and garlic powder and chopped boil egg ugh so freaking delish! i made it with ur recipe following ur recipe to the T and i ran out of both really fast oh my freaking god it was magically delicious! southern style cooking is all i know! thanks a bunch.

I enjoyed your video and the receipe is so close to what my long lost friend who is Southern makes and hers is really good. Thank you, Betty! I'll definitely be making your cornbread sage dressing.

[bettyskitchen]

Thank you for trying it! It hasn't gotten much response; I think it intimidates most people, but it's pretty easy--and oh, so good! Thanks!
