For the most part, a traditional Thanksgiving feast consists of turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, vegetable dishes, cranberry sauce, and of course, stuffing or dressing. Stuffing and dressing are essentially the same, except stuffing is cooked inside the turkey, and dressing is usually prepared in a casserole dish.
Of all the Thanksgiving dishes, the dressing may be the one dish that has several options. Some people like to add sausage, rice, and even dried fruits to their dressing. In this simple recipe, cornbread sets the stage for a dressing that is both very easy to make and delicious to eat. You can further simplify this recipe by using prepared cornbread, usually available in the bakery section of your grocery store.
