Ingredients and spices that need to be Prepare to make Southern Squash Cornbread Dressing:

1. 6 to 8 yellow squash, sliced 1/4" thick
2. 1 onion, chopped
3. 1 2 stalks celery, chopped
4. 2 clove garlic, minced
5. 1/2 stick butter
6. 2 bay leaves
7. 1 tbsp poultry seasoning
8. 1 tsp sage
9. 1 salt & pepper, to taste
10. 2 cup chicken stock (more if becomes too dry)
11. 3 eggs, lightly beaten
12. 1 , 9" pan of cornbread, cooled & crumbled
13. 1 cup grated cheese for top of finished casserole.
14. 1 (you may wish to use a bit more seasonings like I do; this is just a suggested amount)

Steps to make to make Southern Squash Cornbread Dressing

1. Prepare cornbread as per the package directions. It is better if you do this the night before but not necessary. Set aside.
2. In a large pan, cook squash, onion, garlic & celery with bay leaves, poultry seasoning, sage, salt & pepper in butter & chicken stock until very tender, 20-30 min. stirring often.
3. Remove both bay leaves.
4. In a large bowl, mix crumbled cornbread with squash mixture.
5. Add beaten eggs & stir very well.
6. The consistency at this point should be medium-thin (a bit soupy). You may need to add more chicken stock but water will suffice if you are out of stock. The dressing will thicken up a lot when cooking; the worst thing is if its too dry.
7. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with Pam & pour mixture in (I usually have enough to make 2 pans & freeze one before baking to cook later). Bake in a 300-350 degree oven for about 30-45 min. After 20 min or so you may need to tent with foil to prevent edges from becoming too dark.
8. Top with grated cheese & place under broiler for a min or two. Watch carefully so cheese doesn't burn.
9. Even better the next day!! If dressing becomes too dry, you can always poke holes around in top & spoon on a little chicken stock; should soak right up.

It's those little steps you take towards your aim of cooking well balanced meals for your family that will matter far more than any creature leap. Before you realize it you may find that you all have greater energy and a greater understanding of overall health than you'd have envisioned before changing up your eating habits.
