How To Make faye's whole wheat cornbread dressing

  • 1
    PREHEAT OVEN TO 450* IN LARGE BOWL SLIGHTLY BEAT EGGS, THEN ADD MILK, AND OIL, ADD CORN MEAL, FLOUR AND SUGAR POUR INTO A PAN SPRAYED WITH PAM. PUT IN OVEN FOR ABOUT 20 MINS OR UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN. TAKE OUT WHEN READY TURN OVEN DOWN TO 350* ON ANOTHER PAN SPRAYED WITH PAM LAY THE 6 SLICES BREAD, SPRAY TOPS WITH PAM. STICK IN OVEN, UNTIL BOTH SIDES ARE BROWNED WELL. . WITH SHARP KNIFE CUT CORNBREAD AND THE TOAST, HORIZONTALLY AND VERTICALLY INTO VERY SMALL SQUARES. MIX THE TWO TOGETHER SET ASIDE. EITHER BOIL SOME CHICKEN OR USE STORE BOUGHT BROTH. I RATHER MAKE MY OWN THE CUT CHICKEN UP INTO THE DRESSING, THATS HOW WE LOVE IT,. BUT START THE BROTH BOILING, ADD BUTTER AND SEASONINGS. ADD ALL OF THE CHOPPED ONIONS, AND CHOPPED BELL PEPPER. ADD HALF THE SMALL FINE CHOPPED GREEN ONIONS. THROW OTHER HALF IN THE CORNBREAD AND TOAST MIXTURE. AFTER THE BROTH HAS BOILED ENOUGH TO TENDER THE ONIONS AND BELL PEPPERS TURN OFF FIRE. POUR SLOWLY OVER THE CORNBREAD MIXTURE MIX WELL ALL CORNBREAD AND TOAST SHOULD BE WET. IF TOO WET TURN OVEN TO 350 AND BAKE FOR 20 MINS STIR IT, IF STILL WET PUT BACK IN THE OVEN ( 10 MINS AT A TIME UNTIL NOT TOO WET)IF NOT THEN STIR, CHECK TASTE FOR SEASONINGS ADD LITTLE MORE IF NEEDED, STIR. DO NOT DRY THIS OUT TOO MUCH YOU WANT IT VERY MOIST. CAN BE REHEATED BY THE BOWL, CAN BE FROZE FOR LATER TIME. JUST PUT SERVING SIZE OF 1 1/2 CUPS IN ZIP LOCK AND FREEZE. REHEAT IT IN THE MICROWAVE WHEN READY TO EAT. I use chicken and make my own broth, then I debone the chicken and throw all the meat in the dressing. that's the way they all want it here,lol
