Hi skydancer4:

Just talked to Linda in Customer Service. Here are two recipes we have. I hope this helps or inspires. Sincerely, Cate

Corn Bread Stuffing

2 medium stalks celery (with leaves), chopped (about 1 cup)
1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine or butter
5 cups crumbled corn bread
3 cups soft bread cubes
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon pepper
 
Cook and stir celery, onion and margarine in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until celery is tender, about 3 minutes.  Stir in corn bread and bread cubes.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until bread is golden brown, about 10 minutes; remove from heat.  Add remaining ingredients; toss.  16 servings (1/2 cup each).

The giblets should be done in about 15 to 20 minutes.

CateC, I found your corn bread dressin recipe interesting. My D.H.'s family ( from Ky) made that a lot and they baked the corn bread just like usuall and then made the dressing useing it or left over corn bread.  Personally I don't care for it,;-(, I've never eaten any that wasn't gritty. Granna2
