Equipment

Ingredients 

Cornbread

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup canola oil

Dressing

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp canola oil
  • 2 cans (10 ¾ oz. each) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tsp poultry seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the cornmeal, baking powder, salt and flour.
  • In another bowl whisk the buttermilk and eggs.
  • Pour oil into a skillet, and place the skillet in the oven for about 4 minutes.
  • Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, and stir until it is just moistened.
  • Carefully tilt and rotate the skillet, to coat the bottom with the oil. Then add batter.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  • Reduce the oven setting to 350°.
  • For the dressing, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the celery and onion. Cook and stir about 4 to 6 minutes or until tender.
  • Remove from the heat. Coarsely crumble the cornbread into the skillet, toss to combine.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, seasonings, and condensed soup. Stir into the bread mixture. Stir in the broth.
  • Transfer to a greased 13x9 inch baking dish. Bake 40 to 50 minutes until the dressing is lightly brown.
