Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 3 cups coarsely crumbled cornbread
• 6 slices stale bread, torn in small bits, please use a good quality bread
• 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons bacon drippings
• 1 cup diced celery
• 1 1/2 cups diced onions
• 2 beaten eggs
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 1/2-2 cups chicken broth

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350.
• 2 saute the onions and celery in the bacon drippings, until soft but not browned.
• 3 let cool slightly.
• 4 toss the cornbread, bread, bacon, poultry seasoning, parsley, salt and pepper until mixed well.
• 5 add the cooked celery and onions and toss to mix well.
• 6 add the eggs and 1 cup of the chicken broth and stir to moisten, adding as much broth as needed.
• 7 (everytime is going to be different.) this is a personal taste decision.
• 8 i like my dressing moist so i add broth until i have a very wet mixture.
• 9 any type pan will work for baking.
• 10 i generally use a 8 x 8 disposable pan, but if i am making a double batch i use a 9 x 13 pan.
• 11 bake for 30 min, uncovered, or until golden on top.
• 12 this is enough to stuff an 8 to 10 lb turkey, if you so desired.
• 13 **note**i have made this several times for vegetarian dinners, omitting the bacon, drippings and chicken broth and substituting with either butter, or olive oil and vegetable broth with great success.
• 14 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.
• 15 (just a tip my grandma told me that works.).
