This is delicious! It fast became a favorite of my dinner guests. Now I get requests for it often.
One thing, make sure you watch the video. The recipe says to just mix it all in a bowl and bake it off, but in the video they sauté the vegetables down to a sweat and use dried cranberries. I’ve made it both ways and using fresh cranberries make for a nice little pop of flavor and moisture where the dried cranberries add a real nice chew to the dish. Sautéing the vegetables is just the better way to go. They have more flavor and a better consistency for this kind of dish I felt. The raw vegetables were just way too crunchy even after baking it.
Love making this!

This recipe is wonderful. I made it today using chestnuts instead of pecans, because that is what my family likes. I will have to look for the pans that were used for baking it in the video.
Going to give it a try
The recipe doesn’t list how much yogurt (or buttermilk) to use.
It was so very colorful! The pickiest eater at the table was the only one that didn’t like it. He is not very adventurous in his eating. The other 3 of us enjoyed it! It will definitely be a keeper. I omitted the mushrooms, but loved the cranberries in it! Bursting with flavor!
I have been making this since it came out. –just decided today to write about it —
If you have picky eaters just make a simple dressing for them and then make this and encourage them to try this one and they will be hooked. I do all the cooking in my house and my wife is the pickiest eater in the universe and she loves it.. Thanks food network and thanks Bobby.

Peggy thank you so much for such a truly authentic cornbread dressing recipe. I did not add the fruit and nuts “too many picky eaters!” LOL! I chose to add chopped giblets. Adding the curry, cardamom, and turmeric and Emeril’s essence brought out smells and flavors that were unimaginable! I intend to make this dressing again, because there were no leftovers and I did not get enough! My dad who doesn’t like poultry raved about this dressing and this Thanksgiving asked for some turkey! Bobby thank you for finding Peggy Dillard Toone!
Glad you were excited Loretta, I made this recipe an it was utterly divine.
that’s great that you were ‘excited’ but did you MAKE the recipe? That is what the reviews are for….
I was excited when I seen the show.
