Wild mushroom + sage cornbread dressing

Dressings American cuisine

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. And one of my favorite side dishes is dressing. This version is my mom's which she has perfected over many years of trying different variations. It is vegetarian (if you use vegetable broth instead of chicken) and extremely flavorful. Homemade broth makes this dish even more exceptional. Use the best ingredients that you can find (especially if you purchase pre-made cornbread and biscuits). It really does make a difference. You can always adjust the quantity of mushrooms if you are mushroom lover. I often add more because I love the flavor. I also sometimes freeze half of this so I can enjoy it later in the year. Thanksgiving isn't the only day you should eat dressing! And finally, sometimes I don't have a day to wait for the bread to harden a bit. I crumble the cornbread and the biscuits, place on 2 sheet pans and let the bread dry out in the oven (set at 200 degrees) for 30-45 minutes to save time. Enjoy!
