Gregory Miles
This is delicious cornbread dressing. So easy and everybody loved it. I made the recipe exactly as printed.
Anna Nunez
I have been using this recipe for years. I didn’t get to make it this Christmas for the family, so I am making it for Easter. Still my go to recipe. Follow instructions and it is always a hit! I always have to make 2 pans. The ingredients are basic and you probably have everything you need already. You won’t be sorry trying this recipe.
Anthony Erickson
I have been making this specific recipe of cornbread dressing for the last 5/6 years and it has become a family favorite! I can’t tell you how much the hard boiled eggs add to this dish. It’s got basic ingredients and it’s fabulous. This is a well put together recipe.
Michelle Graves
I made this for our Thanksgiving dinner and everyone absolutely loved it. My 11 year old son even came back for extra, and only wanted dressing on his plate.
Angel Mcguire
Good holiday side dish. I didn’t add the cooked eggs or biscuits. However the flavor and texture were good. The kids noticed something different, in a good way, from the regular dressing. I told them it was the sausage!
John Lee
this is the best dressing recipe that I have found that is like my Mom’s and Grandmothers.
Bridget Fisher
Love this recipe! I make every year for thanksgiving and Christmas. Wouldn’t change a thing.
Ashley Hanson
This recipe is the best dressing I’ve ever had. I did some minor changes though. Used 1/4 lb sausage, no boiled eggs, and used poultry seasoning (which has sage in it) instead of just sage. It was perfect!!
Douglas Randall
Our family love this dish and cannot get enough of it. We get it all the time.
John Cervantes
What a delicious and creative recipe. I made it exact and it was a hit at thanksgiving
Courtney Glass
Instead of bisquits I used 2 boxes of stove top stuffing. Cooked it a little longer. Thought the consistency was a little mushy until I layer it out on wider casserole dish and let it cook longer.
Raymond Mann
I have made this cornbread dressing now 3 years in a row. Everywhere I bring it I get tons of compliments. I do add more sausage then the recipe calls for but, that’s just me. This recipe is a winner in my household, for sure!
Randall Brown
I decided to try this for Christmas this year and it was a hit. I totally forgot about buying celery at the store and decided to go ahead without it and I did not use the sausage. Figured it would be awesome minus sausage and I was right. I also used 1/4 of a teaspoon of sage and it was the right amount. It came out moist with a crunchy topping and extremely tasty. The only thing I would have done different would be to add another hard boiled egg.
Jessica Gibson
I made this for thanksgiving and I got raving reviews! Even my kids who are super picky wanted seconds!! I felt like a rock star so thanks for the hook up 🙂 I didn’t use the sausage and the flavor was still on point.
Brandi Morris
My favorite. My sister and I love this and I make it every year. Or have been making since 2010.
Garrett Humphrey
Pure perfection as a first time dressing maker, I followed it TO THE LETTER. came out perfect. Entire family raved. Took it to a social function, it’s now the one dish I’m ALWAYS expected to bring. It’s a no brained recipe. Can’t fail. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. so simple, the last time I made it for the family, I let my 9 y/o daughter make it, and it STILL ZTURNED OUT Perfect.
Danielle Rogers
I omitted the hard boiled eggs and added 2 raw eggs, whites and yolks beat separately. Also divided the mixture in half and only put sausage in 1/2 of it since we have some non sausage eaters in the family. I did use 1/8 pound in half of the recipe and it was fine.
Anthony Ortega
Wonderful, very Southern flavor, great texture. I did leave out the boiled eggs, otherwise followed the recipe exactly, including using exactly 2 and a half cups of broth as recommended.
John Mora
Very savory! Very moist! This recipe makes plenty of dressing – I might increase the serving size given here. Please be sure to bake it in a SHALLOW pan, or increase baking time. I have been using the leftovers for “fried bread” at breakfast, like my Native American Aunt Rose used to make, and it is absolutely spectacular!!
Joshua Davis
I made this for the first time for Thanksgiving 2013 and everyone loved it! I substituted one can of chicken broth for a can of cream of chicken as was suggested by another reviewer, and I used fresh chopped sage. I did use the hard boiled chopped egg and to my surprise it added flavor. The only reason I am only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I felt that it needed a bit more spices. It truly was a huge hit with everyone though. I will definitely be making this again next year.
