This scrumptious Southern Cornbread Dressing is made with homemade cornbread, crusty Italian bread, butter, chicken stock, and a blend of delightful herbs. It's perfect for Thanksgiving or any festive occasion!
Cube the cornbread and Italian bread and let them dry overnight, or alternatively, place onto a baking sheet and dry in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
