Not my year to do Thanksgiving but I have been told what to bring.

Dressing.

This is not stuffing but dressing.

First thing you do is bake three large pans of cornbread two days before. Leave one out for the husband to eat with a big pot of pinto beans and greens, hide one in the pantry for husband to find, hide the third.....(not telling. He reads FR sometimes) retrieve it Thanksgiving morning and crumble.

Brown one pound of sausage, chopped mushrooms, one onion (diced), four celery stalks (diced) and a carrot (grated).

Add in sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, parsley and mace. (to taste)

Dried cranberries, about a half cup.

When nicely cooked take off heat, add in cornbread and mix.

Beat two eggs and half cup of cream and mix in.

If it is too dry add in some chicken stock.

Pack lightly into buttered baking dish and let bake about a half hour.

Let cool slightly and eat.

I make dressing like that except I start with cornbread Stovetop. If I did it your way the cornbread would disappear for sure.

I do not like “stuffing.” Grandma used to make stuffing with giblets. No thanks. Husband does not care either way.
