Homemade Cornbread Thanksgiving Dressing

This is my first making this  dressing and it did not disappoint. There is an extra step you have to make though: You will have to make your cornbread base.

Yup. Instead of buying the boxed dressing mixture, you have to make your cornbread mixture as main part and star ingredient. Then you can mix in the rest of the ingredients .

What I love about this Homemade Cornbread Thanksgiving Dressing is its simplicity. Pretty much it is just mixing the ingredients and baking it.
