Cornbread Dressing
Both cornbread and dressing (or stuffing) are at home on the Thanksgiving table – and they’re even better together. This recipe is one of my favorites this time of year, because combines two of the best parts of the Thanksgiving meal. Plus, it’s so delicious the next day (if you don’t eat it all the day-of!)
I teamed up again with the fine folks at Dixie Lily for this recipe, and we couldn’t have been happier with how wonderfully their corn meal added to the flavor and consistency of the stuffing.
