Simple Southern Chicken & Dressing

Wow... thats a meal. I used to think cornbread laced with caramelized onion and bacon was good but this looks really good.

My brother makes what he calls "cracklin' bread" occasionally with bacon in it and it is damned good with beans.

I should have started it with the vegetable soup :) I'll have to think of something to start it off with if someone doesn't beat me to it.
 
Ok, for those of us in the North...I actually need a recipe for the cornbread, too, Mist! I'm Canadian, so I have bannock and flat breads down pat, but not cornbread. Your cornbread looks terrific, so please share the recipe!

How are you liking the Woodsman in the kitchen?

I'll tell you like I told a long time friend from Australia. Ok, next time I make some I'll take measurements for a recipe lol. I have been making it for nearly forty years and never had a recipe to start with. :)

Sigh, the best recipes are always like that...

Another part of the conversation between Barry and I...the ingredients are corn meal, eggs, milk, water, and shortning. I buy self-rising corn meal. If, like Barry, you only have access to plain polenta, I will have to research the rising agent...

Oh, and I am loving the Woodsman in the kitchen!

Yeah, I think it's mainly a southern thing. My father made it once or twice a month all through my childhood, using different meats and as a side with different fowl mostly. I favorite was always quail or pheasant, but I like it with duck, chicken, goose, etc.
 
We don't get too much cornbread up here in Canada, I think I've encountered it only once (strangely enough, in the middle of the oil patch). I've been tempted to attempt to make my own ever since, and I think I will try to do so after seeing this thread. Thanks guys!
 
It is a funny thing to me with men and cooking. Meet a guy and you find out thet he can cook a few things like a monster and no recipes required. Anything else you ask for gets a stare :)

My Dad made some of the best soups, hush puppies and sausage balls that I ever ate but could not boil a pot of water aside from those!! LOL!!

My Granny used potatoes for nearly anything. Hard to find the recipes for what she cooked as I never knew names of the dishes. Left over Irish potatoes and whatever else was on hand. Sheperds pie is about the only name I ever heard. Maybe I need to look up some old yard sale cookbooks for evening reading.

Aside from a grill or making soups....I am pretty useless as a cook but love of knives keeps me at the chopping board while my wife cooks.
