Need a new holiday side dish? This is a basic cornbread dressing with amazing flavor that'll make a great addition to any holiday table. Adding a little bit of store-bought stuffing mix adds a great touch of flavor and balances out the cornbread. You can't go wrong cooking celery and onions in butter. They're classic ingredients that add to the overall flavor of this moist dressing.
