I call it dressing too. Your recipe is exactly like mine! Friends here in CA think I'm crazy to cook cornbread and biscuits for a dressing!! I love to sample the uncooked dressing,(before adding the eggs) Luv it, can hardly wait till Turkey day, Thanks an have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I'm making a green bean casserole that calls for frozen green beans, water chestnuts, fresh mushrooms and a cream sauce..and i top it with French's onions out of a can.....it is awesome. However, I LOVE the tinny taste of the typical greenbean casserole with canned green beans and canned soup ! Too, my stuffing, actually we call if dressing, is pretty good also....make with fresh cooked corn bread, homemade biscuits, mixed with homemade broth, along with cooked celery and onions, a boatload of sage, mixed with beaten eggs and baked until the consistency of a really moist cornbread.........such a southern down home tradition in my family !

Oh wow Chris, this sounds great, I'm going to try this. Thanks, and have a great Turkey Day!
Try this home made creamed corn recipe, I have also done it without the parmesan cheese. Once it is made you can put it in a slow cooker to keep warm.

I too taste it before the eggs.......my aunt used sage, almost too much, but I love the peppery taste of sage......not poultry seasoning because it is usually diluted with other seasonings, I love the sage flavor. I'm a bit surprised that even in CA you embrace this same type recipe...thought it was only here in the south....but that is ok, you just can't keep good taste regional !!!!!

I make a broccoli casserole:
20 oz frozen or fresh broccoli, 1 can cream of mushroon soup, 2 eggs, 1 Tbsp finely chopped or dry onion flakes,
1/2 cup mayo , 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 1/2 to 2 cups shredded cheese, 1/2 to 1 stack of Ritz crackers, smashed.
mix all but 1 c cheese and Ritz crackers together and put in sprayed casserole. Top with crushed Ritz and cheese and sprinkle over top. Bake at 350 about 45 mins, maybe just a bit more.
Broccoli Salad:
Make dressing first so it can set and meld: 1 to 2 cups of good mayo, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar or Truvia and let sit until
other things are mixed.
Broccoli florets, fresh and cut in bite size pieces
Cauliflower florets, fresh and cut in bite size pieces
red onion, coarsely chopped
craisins or raisins (I like Craisins)
broken pecan pieces, coarse
crispy bacon, chopped coarse (or use Hormel Real Bacon Bits from pkg)
Mix together, add dressings and mix until all dressing is distributed, put in serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, put
in fridge at least 2 or 3 hrs to meld.
I never have any of this salad left. When I take a large bowl to church suppers it goes right away and people will say "I didn't get any".
I have used this as a first course salad and as a side dish, always a hit.
I did not put measured amounts as I just mix up how much I think I will need of the broccoli and cauliflower (sometimes make it without the cauliflower), then add other ingredients to go with the amount of vegs I have.
Hope this will help, delma
