Delighted to share the ingredients I purchased and used to make this delicious recipe. All comments are my own.
THE SHREDDED CHICKEN
This recipe calls for shredded chicken. Use well-seasoned baked, boiled or rotisserie.
I prefer dark meat. Tastes better in my opinion.
This dressing’s delicious creamy texture is provided by condensed cream of chicken soup, condensed cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken soup.
Consider using 1-1/2 cups of my Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup.
INGREDIENTS continued…
Two eggs, salt, coarse ground black pepper, ground sage, and one onion.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GROUND SAGE AND RUBBED SAGE?
The difference is the level of concentration.
Ground sage is made by grinding dry sage leaves into a dense powder. It’s dense and potent. A little goes a long way. Use lightly.
Rubbed sage is made by rubbing dry sage leaves together until light and crumbly.
It’s lighter and less concentrated than ground sage.
THE BISCUITS
Recipe calls for two baked biscuits (large or small size), crumbled before adding to the batter. They add texture and taste to the dressing.
Use small or large biscuits. Do not use jumbo because they’re too large.
THE CORNBREAD
My Homemade Self-Rising Cornbread is excellent in this recipe.
HOW TO PREPARE BAKING DISH
Generously grease a baking dish (11×9) with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
The hot oil will thoroughly bakes bottom and sides.
THE BACK STORY
Posted this recipe for the first time in November 2017 (not a typo) and named it Million Dollar Cornbread Dressing.
I changed the name to Cornbread Bundt Dressing to more accurately describe the creative presentation.
My dear aunt taught me how to make her amazing cornbread dressing. The first time I tasted it, I was compelled to add it to my recipe collection. It was THAT good.
SERVING SUGGESTION
Pairs well with my Homemade Cranberry Sauce and Pineapple Cranberry Sauce (pictured).
