Now if stuffing is more to your liking, check out the recipe at The Salty Side Dish for Homemade Stuffing.
Can you use the cubed up dry cornbread that comes in a bag like you use for stuffing a turkey?
The recipe calls for 1/4 cup sage. Surely, you mean fresh sage. Right?
Nope. I know it seems like a lot, but good dressing has a lot of sage in it.
What size dish is that/how many servings? I would like to make it as the main part of a meal .
The number of servings would vary based on the size of the portion. I am not sure about the size of the dish, but I imagine a 9×9 glass baking dish would work.
