5. Note: For testing purposes only, Southern Living used Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned Stuffing mix. They also used 2 - 7.5 ounce packages Martha White Yellow Cornbread Mix prepared according to package directions in 8-inch square pans. The baked cornbread made 7 cups crumbs so they suggest freezing the rest.

EXCELLENT recipe! I made almost as directed. I did saute the celery and onions in the butter before assembling. I made my own Southern Cornbread (no sugar) 4 days prior and let it good and dry before assembling. Made this for Thanksgiving 2012 with great reviews from all 17 family members! I do agree, making this the night before and keeping in the fridge until the next morning worked great! Baked on Low for 4 hours for the most moist and delicious dressing ever! Thanks for sharing!

I love that this recipe can be prepared the night before. It was a huge hit with my work potluck.
