Paula, Thank you so much for this recipe. It is so close to my mother's. She passed away before I could get her to write it down. I have a big family and we didn't know what we would do without Mom's dressing. I made this for Christmas last year and I don't think there was a dry eye or empty belly in the house. Thank you so much.

This is the closest cornbread dressing to my grandmothers that I have been able to find. I have used this recipe now for the last 3 years and absolutely love it. Thank you Ms. Dean for the wonderful dishes you share with us.
