Corn Bread Dressing

My delicious corn bread dressing!



I learned this recipe from one of  my coworker and a tradition for my family  Thanksgiving feast since.Taste so much better than the store bought. I cheated a little by using the corn kits mix from the grocery store. Make sure you don't use the sweet kind cornbread mix like Jiff.The secret is the poultry seasoning ,chicken broth, lots of celery and onions.




 



Sauteing chopped celery and onions.



This is what the Southerner  use to make their cornbread dressing.
