This is the recipe my grandmother always used for stuffing/dressing. I am posting this here so I don't have to hunt down my recipe every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups butter
  • 1 1/2 cups celery, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
  • 2 quarts day old bread, crumbled
  • 1 1/2 quarts cornbread, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sage
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 -2 cup chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet sweat/soften the celery and onion till tender and transparent.
  • Combine breads and seasonings in a large bowl. Stir in vegetables and butter mixture and then add in chicken broth to reach the desired moistness you prefer. Normally I use about two cans. This can vary depending on how dry and absorbent your bread crumbs are.
  • At this point you can stuff a bird with the mixture but I tend to just place the dressing in a buttered casserole dish.
  • Bake at 350* for about 1 hour till desired doneness. I like the dressing moist inside and crusty around the edges.
