Maw's Cornbread Dressing

　
　
6 cups cornbread crumbs
2 cups biscuit crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoons poultry seasoning
1 tablespoon ground sage
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup water
2 cups broth
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs, slightly beaten
　
Combine cornbread crumbs and biscuit crumbs in large bowl. Sprinkle seasonings over crumbs; set aside. Combine margarine, onion and water in saucepan. Cook over medium heat until margarine is melted. Add onion mixture, broth, and oil to crumbs; stir well, mashing crumbs.(This is a good time to taste it. You may need to add more sage or poultry seasoning. You want it to taste a little strong or you won’t taste it at all after it’s cooked) Add eggs; stir until blended. Pour mixture into baking dish or pan; bake at 350 degrees about 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. (Adjust pan size and baking time accordingly. As you can see I use a bigger pan because Hubby like his thin)Yield 15 servings.


In the mood for Thanksgiving like food with out all the work? Try this...

Boil some chicken, white or dark meat, whatever you prefer. If it's has bones pick it off the bone. If not just shred it. Take the water you boiled your chicken in and season it with butter, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper and use it as the broth the dressing recipe calls for. Add shredded chicken to the dressing mixture before baking. Serve with veggie of your choice and cranberry sauce. This should hold you over until Turkey Day.
