Country Cornbread Dressing

Submitted by loof751

"This recipe was clipped from an old issue of the Houston Chronicle, as part of an ad for Quaker Corn Meal. The great thing is you don't have to make the cornbread first! I can't tell how old the newspaper was, but on the back of the clipping there's a grocery ad promoting a 12-ounce package of bacon for 89 cents, so I guess that's pretty old! You can lighten this up a bit by using turkey sausage instead of pork."

This is a quick tasty alternative to traditionally made stuffing. I made as directed, using lower fat sausage. Be sure to uncover after the initial cooking time, so it browns nicely. Made for your 2010 Football Pool win.
