In the directions, it says... "In large mixing bowl, combine cornbread, bread, celery and onions, sage and black pepper." Could this be a typo? Instead of bread, do you mean herb stuffing mix? Thanks -
Yep, I sometimes use Jiffy Cornbread Mix (lazy years) -- Use 2 of the small boxes... Follow directions. When cornbread is done, set aside and let cool... Then cut/dice/pulverize to add to dressing ingredients! Happy T'giving to you!

Dumb question: it says herb stuffing mix so am I supposed to prepare the stuffing mix as directed on the box? OR do I use 2-4 cups of dry stuffing mix for this recipe?? -
Can you please advise on the "bread" that's supposed to be added to the mixing bowl. Are you referring to the stuffing mix?? -
Hello I was wanting to make chicken and stuffing using this recipe. I want to sear my chicken tenderloins on each side but not cook them all the way through. I then want to put them in a pan and bake it with the stuffing on top. How should I adjust the recipe?

It reallly irritates me when people write a review and DO NOT follow the recipe. People, do not write a review on someone's recipe if you are not going to follow it exactly. When you change it, it is not their recipe anymore. EVERYONE does this. No matter which site I am on. -
This was fabulous for our Thanksgiving dinner yesterday! The flavors are fresh and the finished dish is savory and moist. I added a chopped peeled carrot to the onion/celery mixture and omitted the boiled eggs. It made more than my 13X9 dish could hold so I also filled up a smaller casserole dish too. It was a huge hit. Thanks so much!

i DO NOT HAVE TO MAKE THIS RECIPE TO SEE HOW IT TURNS OUT. IT IS BASICALLY THE RECIPE i HAVE BEEN USING FOR 50 YEARS. I COME FROM A MIXED/BLENDED FAMILY AND NO ONE LIKES ANYONE'S DRESSING BUT MINE.

I made this for Thanksgiving because it was the closest to a recipe I once had from a DEEP East Texas friend's aunt (!). I lost the recipe, which also included some chopped chicken (made with the homemade broth) and she used regular bread crumbs (I used your recommended herb stuffing mix). My mother never had dressing (we always made stuffing), and she LOVED it. As did we all. Can't wait to make it again. Like another reviewer, I used a cornbread that I also thought too sweet -- gonna stick with the ol' tried and true homemade in the future. Thanks!

3/4 to 1 cup chopped celery to taste (string...use leaves) 1 to 2 tsp. Sage (to taste) 4 cup herb cubes dressing mix 2 large boxes chicken broth (may need more or less soupy consistancy) 3 eggs beaten 3 boiled eggs chopped medium pieces

Added 1/4 teaspoon sage, and 1 additional hard boiled egg. I don't think the additional sage added any flavor.

<p>September 15, 2007: Here's a photo of me and my two girls before leaving our hotel room to go to an Avett Brothers concert. We're all huge fans of the group. We're also huge fans of each other. It's fun to have adult children. <br /> <br /> <br />--- About me: I'm an artist, and art teacher to kids kindergarten age through 8th grade. My life whirls at a breakneck pace. I teach approximately 800 students, and have 30 different classes each week. It's crazy!!! The rewards, however, are the numerous hugs and good vibes I get from my students. If I didn't have my good-looking husband to stabilize me, I'd surely be sporting a straight-jacket. Oh, and did I mention my yarn obsession? I've made hundreds of crochet items in the past few months, and have a little shop on etsy. Check out my website when you have the time:</p>
