MAKIN’ DRESSING

[jackieschmidt]

Jackie, I saved your recipe...going to try it out on my family over Christmas. -Al

Al, I did not mention it, but the 4 cornbread cakes are made from 8 packs of the Corn Bread Mix

Looks good Jackie, and also a good way to get that work grime off your hands....

That’s the secret sauce

I also make a cornbread dressing for my wife’s family, but not on the scale that you are. That is a bunch of dressing you are making there. your recipe sounds quite tasty.

I use to make a cornbread dressing for my Grandfather. Would put a lot of Turkey in the dressing. Some days, that would be all he would eat for dinner

As a teenager I lived with my Grandmother who was apt to make a good dressing just about any time.

The corn bread dressing is about the only thing I really like at Thanksgiving. I can make the whole meal out of it. Got to have a good giblet gravy to go with it. About an hour after eating that, I need a big slice of homemade Pecan pie to finish it off. I will gladly eat left over dressing for a couple of days.

My wife has the dressing mixed up and ready for tomorrow. Tonight she let me “test” a piece from one of the pecan pies.

Sorry but my cornbread dressing is the best. Not gonna tell all the secrets but here’s two must haves: elk sausage and duck fat.

She must really love you!

We like Jackie's recipe, except apples do not belong in dressing.

I made some cornbread from scratch today. I used some flower which I normally don't. A little pepper flake give it some kick. Idle hands...

I like to put cornbread in a glass of milk, and eat it that way sometimes.

My dad and I did that with chocolate cake but, cornbread? That's a bridge too far for me.

oh yeah, it is the real deal. you need some real good CB to start with. a meal in itself. Best for CB a little on the dry side. Try it.

I'll take your word for it, I'm one of the weirdest/pickiest eaters out there. Kind of grew up on a farm. I no longer eat eggs or like the smell of them cooking. I live in a county full of Volga Germans and can't stand the smell of sauerkraut, yet I help cook 800lbs of bierock meat every year because I've grown to like them. I don't like tomatoes unless they are ketchup or salsa...I don't like cucumbers unless they are pickled. I'm not right, I get it. I also have 4 cucumber plants, 4 tomato plants and one japaleano plant growing.

There ain't no accounting for taste.

Corn bread in milk is just lazy. Make better corn bread or dont let momma see you do that. Flavor makes sense, sweet and dairy, but better to add honey, cheese, buttermilk, in my opinion. Hell, even sour cream and jalapeño is fine.

Picky eaters just grew up with a bad cook, I think. Who doesn't like sauerkraut but likes pickles? You probably have only had very old, very sour cabbage. Make your own, test every week after 6 weeks. You'll find the right flavor. Mix with baked beans and serve with a good cured meat. Hot dog, sausage, burger, wurst, brat, etc. Mustard is paramount. Not to hide the flavor, but accompany it.

Sorry, I have strong opinions about food, lol!
