This is how my mama always made her dressing. If she has broth from her turkey she uses that in her dressing and gravy and it just gives it the best flavor.
I've always made my momma's recipe and I watch other people add things like raw eggs, and cans of cream of chicken soup and I always think hmmm that's not how momma did it. Well then I see you make it like my momma did and now I'm the grandma and my babies and grandbabies love it! Thank you for traditional cooking 🧑🍳
looks delicious! i'm up north in minnesota & i have never heard of eggs in gravy in my life. you have really spiked my interest & i will have to try it.
@@KarenJonesFoodFamily I’m from Texas and grew up close to the Louisiana border…so…we always had a lot of delicious Cajun food too. We’d always put a boiled egg in a bowl of gumbo…add some Tobasco and sprinkle on some file’ which is ground sassafras leaves. Chef’s kiss!
Exactly how us southerners like our Cornbread chicken dressing!!! So delicious 😋!! Yummy 😋!! I can taste it already 😋. Can't wait to eat some good ole Cornbread dressing on Thanksgiving!! Oh yes Double up on the gravy baby!
@@KarenJonesFoodFamily Me too!! Counting down the days!! My granny makes her dressing just like this! Its so delicious too! Its perfect! So moist and just delicious 😋!! I love the gravy with eggs 🥚 it just takes it over the top!! Thanks 4 sharing! God bless and I hope you and your husband have a great Thanksgiving this year , stay warm and see you in ur next video!! I'm so glad I found ur channel. You cook just like my granny and I really miss her cooking. She doesn't cook much anymore. She let's us do the cooking now since we are the adults and she enjoys the meal 😆...
My mouth was watering watching you eat that! I always add pecans on the top of the dressing before baking. A side of cranberry sauce would be great, too!
That's exactly how my Mom made her dressing. Each year, she would ask us if there was anything special we wanted on the menu. Each year, I'd say the same...just your dressing!! This is the first holiday season without her. Thank you!!
Karen, I have to make 4 times all that for my family, I have my Mother's recipe for dressing and they all love it, but want to take some home too. I love watching you cook and bake 😋🥰
Karen, thank you for sharing your family & wonderful recipes. I especially love your teaching style & putting your creations up to the screen for all of us to see & learn & Stephanie doing the same as well. I am from NY, 69 years old & never made Cornbread Stuffing with Chicken. We make Stuffing here. But I will try for New Year's Day! Looks so good! Merry Christmas to you & all your family!!
Miss Karen, this looks so good I could hardly wait thru the video to see the finished dressing and gravy. But your presentation is kind, patient and soothing. As well as you explain everything so well. Thank you!
Now Miss Karen, how did you know I have leftover cornbread I need to use up and have been searching RU-vid for dressing instructions since I’ve never made it before?! 😊
My family is from Pennsylvania and I have never seen chicken in dressing. My Mother never put any type of meat in her dressing. She usually put onions, celery and garlic and she did cook them first in butter! I have made sausage dressing and I have seen oyster dressing. I will have to try the chicken! Thanks for sharing!
So far, you are the only one that I’ve seen on RU-vid that makes Dressing with Cornbread (like my Mother used to-& the way I always make it) instead of using Stove Top Stuffing!! I don’t like the Stove Top Stuffing at all! I had a friend that made their dressing with Stove Top Stuffing, until I had her and her husband come and eat at my house! She raves about my dressing and told me that she wanted me to show her how I made mine! I did and bless her heart, they even had Chicken And Dressing with the Gravy and Cranberry Sauce for Easter, Thanksgiving & Christmas!! She passed away several years ago…she was like another Mother to me!! Thank you, I’m so proud that you shared this wonderful recipe and I really hope lots of people try this!! It’s really very good, and personally I think it’s a whole lot better than any other dressing that I have ever had!! Thanks again & have a wonderful Blessed Thanksgiving and a Merry Merry Christmas!! Love to you and your families!! NORMA COLLINS FROM TEXAS
This is how I make my cornbread. You’re correct…. butter just makes everything gooder. I add lots of celery and onions to my dressing. I also add a couple of homemade biscuits and 2 cups of bread torn up. And I use boiled eggs in mine. This is a recipe from a very dear friend. Her momma gave it to me and they’ve both passed on. I make this every year. I add boiled chicken to it & I make 2-8x8 pans because my husband and oldest son likes oysters in theirs. 🤢I’m not eating that dressing. Yours looks so yummy and I’m definitely going to make mine ahead and freeze it this years. I’m getting new cabinets and countertops the 4th of November so my kitchen is a mess right now but I think I can put this dressing together. Bless you sweet lady. You just brighten my day. 🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻I use my Tupperware cake cover to mix stuff up in. It’s bigger than any bowl I have. You might try that if you have one. 😊
Congratulations on the new cabinets and countertops. What kind of countertops are you getting? I went with quartz. I agree with the Oyster. I wish I had a large Tupperware cake top. I need to scrounge around d in my overflow, things I didn't put back in my kitchen and see if I can find something that works. ❤️😉
@@KarenJonesFoodFamily I’m going with Quartz countertops as well. Similar to yours, mostly white with a touch of grey veining in it. And going with a medium grey cabinets. You lived through that renovation… it’s stressful and so rewarding. I love your kitchen. You have great taste . 😁♥️♥️♥️
Yes, the renovation, how could I forget. It is stress but as you say, so rewarding. My cabinets are a very light gray as well. Seems we both have good taste. 😉❤️
@@chriscourson2824 I bet they were. I love Red Velvet. Could you share her recipe with me? Wish I had my Granny's recipe for Red Velvet and her Coconut cake. ❤️😋
I make my dressing the same way the only thing extra I do is rip up a loaf of French or Italian bread and add that too the cornbread to give it more texture vs that extra mushy texture.
Karen you make me hungry for good old corn bread dressing just like your and I live along so I won’t be having any for Thanksgiving day either. I will be praying that I will be able to make myself some. I haven’t been on very much,so I hope you are well, God bless you and your family. Take care.
This looks so good! I am so excited for the holidays. We like celery so I would put a little more in but yours looks so delicious. Just like I like it. Nice and moist. Thanks Mary
That's how you do it! My family adds a little rubbed sage in addition to the regular sage to kick up the taste just a little bit. Won't find any stuffing at any of our homes!!
All looks delicious .. except for the eggs in gravy ! Had it once and wasn’t fond of it !! But could eat the rest with no problem ! I can almost smell it !! Thank you for this ! I was supervisor over our jail kitchen for 23 1/2 years and we would cook 16 huge turkeys and then make the dressing .. like this !! About 14 huge full size sheet pans full !! It was such a wonderful smell getting it all prepared !
It is wonderful smells as you prepare. And the best part is if you don't like something, like the eggs, you can easily leave it out. Wow! 23 1/2 years. That's amazing service. ❤️😉
Awwww....what memory.....my mama always liked to bake a hen and tear it off the bone and then make her dressing....then good ol' giblet gravy.....dang I want a bite...lol! Thanks Karen. Love, Hugs and Blessings.
Since it's just me and my Momma and we don't need a ton, I'm making this for Thanksgiving. Thank you so much for putting this out there. **HUGS** ETA: The only thing that beautiful gravy needed was some good ole gizzards (cooked and soft) and livers in there. Maybe some finely diced onions. You've got me ready to cook, now!
Goodness me, this looks DIVINE. I've never heard of cornbread dressing. Why is it a dressing? Looks more like Cornbread Pie. The best! It all looks doable and so so delicious. Fairly fast as well, not too fussy. Our gravy in the UK looks different though. Please, we need a Taste button somehow... this is torture.. He-he! ♡♡♡ xx..
Just like my momma taught me to make it....she actually used the giblets and hard boiled eggs in her giblet gravy...southern style cookin' at it's best ♥️♥️♥️
Miss Karen .... that looks delicious, I've not seen this recipe before ! I know eggs in gravy are a personal preference, I don't use them. Lol. But that butter in the gravy adds that " silkyness" ,I'm all the butter, lol. Grandmother used it in almost anything she made. Love your shirts, I had not seen them until now, very nice . Thank you for sharing your time, and I will be making this dish, it's " cool weather Comfort Food " ! 🙏🏻🙂😊🍲
Yes, eggs are personal preference. We like them but easy enough to leave out. I can't believe I forgot the butter in the gravy and if you've watched me you know how I am about the butter. ❤️
@@KarenJonesFoodFamily ..Yessss ma'am... I do know how you are about the butter ! I am glad you took my comment ( about the butter ) in the way I intended.... light hearted and " lol, because I know how Miss Karen is about the butter!" 😊💛
Hi Karen, so good to see you on your cooking video series, I wish you all the best in both of your retirements, much happiness, and hap, hap, happy travels!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍💕💕
Awesome video! That cornbread dressing with chicken and gravy is a meal in and of itself, Karen. You know, it requires quite a bit of time and patience to make this tasty dish. I think it might be wise to make it the day before Thanksgiving, for sure. Thank you for this wonderful recipe!
Granny always said add ingredients until it smells right , looks right and feels right . I taught my kids the same thing . I don’t add eggs to my gravy .
Could you add a bit of cream or half-and-half to compensate for the lack of fat in the low-fat buttermilk? The low-fat is all I can find locally. I always have lard--from a local farm! I bet this would be wonderful all year long with some chicken and cranberries. Gravy is an art--that is all there is to it. An art learned by years of experience.
My DIL Stephanie, who has been on several shows with me, says if you add 1 Tbsp melted butter per cup of milk it will bring up the fat content. I bet cranberries with the chicken would be delicious 😋 ❤️
Happy Thanksgiving. You know If you had 20 people and each brought a pan of dressing each would be different. I'm from south Georgia...married a gal from central Alabama my mother's people are from central Georgia. Both my grandmothes where excellent cooks. Their dressings were both good but different so years ago I thought of combining both aspects of their dressings into one. It was a hit some 20 years later I'm the one that makes the dressing. Today we will have 40 people to feed as we all come together so it has been a week in the making. I use a hen for the broth. Cornbread aka egg bread biscuits saltine crackers white bread onions butter salt pepper we are not sage and celery fans so I don't put that in ours but I do add cream of chicken and celery soups.. make it up the night before let it marinate in the fridge. Then add 6 raw eggs which makes it extra fluffy. It's cooking now and smells wonderful.
Thank you. The egg cooker is in amazon store. It is amazing. I bought my grandson one because he liked mine so much. He uses it all the time. 😋❤️ Https://www.amazon/shop/karenjonesfoodfamily
Looks great, just like my mom use to make, since my holiday gathering will be small. I am going to try a new idea, dressing muffins. Hope it turns out.
Hello Karen, it's Karen Evong from Cape Breton Nova Scotia. This recipe looks so good it's another must try for me. I am unable to buy white Lilly flour here in Nova, Scotia Canada but will use what I have. Everything here is good and I hope it's the same for you all as well. I still have you all in my prayers God Bless.
Thank yiu so much my friend. Exactly, use what you have. It will still be delicious. How's your weather? We've been fairly cool the last couple of days and nights are cooler. But I love the temperatures cooler. Take care my friend. ❤️
You must not be from the South. That's the way Southerners make their dressing. I didn't know you could make it any other way. But I'm sure it's just as tasty.😋
Ok you don't precooked your celery and onion does it get soft or does it still have a crunchy bite to it? I like my onions and celery super soft but if I could just mix in and it cook to soft I would skip that step.
Hi sweetie, your excitement is precious! Never would have thought to use hard boil eggs in gravy BUT I will now, it looks delicious! We should have a dressing holiday because your cornbread and gravy looks amazing!!! ❤😊
Look good. I've never had homemade dressing. I've always had stove top. This doesn't look too difficult. I've been watching your last few videos. What is that black thing you have on your counter?
I notice that you put the hard boiled eggs in the gravy I have never seen that before but I have seen some put hard boiled eggs in the dressing when they bake it like this I did that recipe a cup below holiday is ago and I loved it but I wasn't sure on the reasoning of it
It's a Rada knife. I have a link for you if you are interested. Best knives you can buy. Last a lifetime and stay sharp longer. radakitchenstore.com/?rfsn=6926698.6c164b
giblets are not eggs lol they are the liver, heart, gizzard, and neck of a chicken or other fowl, usually removed before the bird is cooked, and often used to make gravy, stuffing, or soup.
I'm saving up my money to buy a Turkey this year. I heard they are going to cost 70% more. Dressing looks really good! I will try cornbread this year. So tired of the bread dressing.
