cornbread casserole

When I cooked this up I could imagine both of my grandmothers scratching their heads because even though it may resemble their dressin' (which they were both famous for) it's really not. It's just a bit different and no gravy required because it is just so moist and delicious all by itself. This recipe is one that my Daddy and I put together one year when I was visiting them in Georgia. We had some leftover cornbread and as I started crumbling it he started pulling stuff out of the fridge and cupboard to go in it. Neither one of us had any idea how this would turn out, but it was a keeper.
