WAR EAGLE OVER – THE – TOP HOLIDAY DRESSINGS

Dressings are soooooo easy, why do we save them just for holidays??!! But special occasion dinners just wouldn't be complete without the dressing. Wrap your left over pieces of War Eagle Cornbread (as if there ever is any left!) in clear plastic wrap and put in a zip lock bag in the freezer. Now, you have the basis for any of these dressings. If there are no left overs, just bake a batch from the War Eagle Cornbread Mix. Any of these dressings can be baked in a pan or stuffed in turkey, chicken, or duck.

Kicking it up a notch, I've included a Southwest style dressing with the addition of green chiles, cumin, and corn. The fresh lemon piqued, Lemon Crouton Dressing, does not follow the moist traditional bread stuffing, but is a drier more textured side dish. This is an excellent accompaniment to fish and veal.

Lastly, is my version of mother's traditional Southern style dressing with the pungent aroma and taste of sage in War Eagle Cornbread Dressing. Mom always used more bread crumbs in proportion to the cornbread so feel free to adapt the measurement of breads.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING from the WAR EAGLE MILL folks!!

Mix the flavors of the traditional southern dressing with the spice of the Southwest! Excellent combination!

1/2 cp chopped celery

LEMON CORNBREAD CROUTON DRESSING

Delicious with chicken, fish, and veal!

Bake 1 batch of War Eagle Cornbread using the War Eagle Cornbread Mix adding water, egg, and honey as directed on the package

3 cps War Eagle Cornbread cut into ½-inch pieces
3 Tbs butter, divided
1 cp celery, chopped
2 Tbs fresh lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest

Prepare cornbread croutons by slicing War Eagle Cornbread in the middle then cut into ½-inch pieces. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; drizzle with 2 Tbs butter. Broil until golden (about 5 – 8 minutes), stirring halfway through cooking time. Keep a close eye on the croutons while broiling so they don't burn.
