Mom’s Musings

I thought I would give you a break from all of the rainy day, flooding pictures and share a recipe that I used tonight. This is such a delicious, homey side dish.

Corn Bread Dressing
(this is a modified version of the recipe ‘Creamed Chicken With Corn Bread Dressing’ found in my old More With Less Cook Book.)

Combine in Large bowl:

    4 cups corn bread, crumbled

    1 ¾ cups croutons

Melt in skillet:

    ¼ cup butter

Add:

    4 stalks celery, sliced

    1 large onion, chopped

    ½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms, if desired

    1 teaspoon celery seed

    2 teaspoons poultry seasoning

    Salt and pepper, as desired

Sauté until tender and add to bread mixture.

Add:

    1 cup milk or broth

Combine and turn into greased casserole.

Bake, covered, at 325 degrees for 40 minutes.

You can serve this with creamed chicken, or simply as a side dish. We enjoy this dressing with meatloaf and green bean casserole.
