Which do you serve on Thanksgiving: dressing or stuffing? I think Southerners tend to prefer dressing, so I think it might be a regional preference. Does anyone know for sure? I wanted to serve a delicious oyster stuffing to my family this year.
But it's not. Gonna. Happen. Everyone wants me to cook my grandmother's chicken and dressing recipe. It is very simple and yummy:
Big Mama's Dressing
1 (8 inch) cornbread
4 slices white bread
Chicken broth
3 medium onions, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups shredded chicken (this is optional, and I prefer dark meat)
Combine chicken broth, corn bread, and white bread; let soak until mushy. Cook onions and celery in a saucepan with water to cover until done; drain. Pour over cornbread mixture. Add salt and pepper. Add eggs to mixture. At this point, you can add a little bit of chicken to the mixture. Pour into a greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan, and bake at 350 degrees until done, about one hour, but you might want to start checking it at 50 minutes. Serves 6 - 8 hungry people!
I am making a quick trip to the grocery after church to start buying what I need for our Thanksgiving meal so I don't have to buy so much on Wednesday. I have a long list, and I have checked it twice!
I hope y'all have a great Sunday.
Until next time...
Blessings!
