Any Thanksgiving dinner will be incomplete without a pecan cornbread dressing. Today, I am going to show you how you can easily make it at home.
To make this recipe, I will recommend you to use stale cornbread, not a fresh one. This will give a crispy texture to the cornbread dressing mix. So, make the cornbread 2-3 days prior to the dressing. If you use fresh cornbread, it will add a soggy texture to the dressing. Make sure you dry out the cornbread before using it in the recipe.
To make pecan cornbread dressing, mix cornbread in boiling water and butter. Cook bacon and use its dripping to cook celery and onions. Add them to the cornbread mixture and mix well. Then, shift this to a greased dish and bake it for 45 minutes.
