Advice

When making cornbread dressing, it is important to remember that the key to a great dressing is using the right ingredients and having patience. Start by making your cornbread in advance and allowing it to cool before crumbling it up. Use the highest quality butter and broth that you can find and don't forget the spices. When you are ready to assemble the dressing, mix the ingredients together gently and be sure to add enough liquid so that the dressing is moist but not too wet. Bake the dressing in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
