What is Cornbread Dressing vs Stuffing?
Stuffing is when a bird, such as a turkey, is actually stuffed with the side dish and cooked. Dressing is made as a side dish that is not stuffed into poultry. Most Southern Black folks’ dressing is made using cornbread. Stuffing is made using cubes of bread and is typically dry. Dressing recipe are served moist.
Day Old Cornbread
When making cornbread dressing you should always use day-old cornbread prepared the day or night before. If you use new and fresh cornbread, your dressing mix will be really watery and hard to thicken. Your cornbread has to be dry. See below for cornbread recipes you can use.
