EDITOR’S NOTE (December 8, 2021): Watch the updated video tutorial on YouTube.
I used a LOT of rubbed sage which gave the Cornbread Dressing a greenish tint. Tastes great! Use less sage if preferred.
DISCLAIMER (NOT SPONSORED): I have not been paid to endorse pictured products. Delighted to share the ingredients I purchased and used to make this delicious recipe.
THE INGREDIENTS
Shredded chicken makes this a hearty side dish. Use baked, boiled or rotisserie chicken. I prefer dark meat because it has more flavor in my humble opinion.
Canned condensed cream of chicken soup and condensed cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken soup provide moisture and flavor.
For those who prefer homemade, check out my Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup. Use 1-1/2 cups of it in this dressing.
THE MAIN INGREDIENT
My Homemade Self-Rising Cornbread is excellent in this dressing.
HELPFUL TIPS
Generously grease a baking dish (11×9) with shortening to prevent sticking.
This will help the bottom and sides thoroughly bake… which creates a delicious crust.
THE BACKSTORY
The first time I posted this recipe was in November 2017 and it was named Million Dollar Cornbread Dressing.
I changed the name to Cornbread Bundt Dressing to more accurately describe the baking method (bundt pan).
My precious aunt taught me how to make her amazing cornbread dressing. The first time I tasted it, I KNEW it would be added to my recipe collection.
After the very first bite, I was 100% impressed with how good it tasted AND the fact that it was dry and not crumbly.
Aunt Betty’s dressing is very moist with lots of savory flavor.
My aunt never measures ingredients. When I asked for the recipe, she said I must be “showed” and not “told.”
I wrote detailed notes as I watched her prepare the dressing.
A very patient teacher, she graciously explained to me everything she was doing throughout the entire process.

My Homemade Cranberry Sauce and Pineapple Cranberry Sauce are excellent with Cornbread Dressing.
