Cornbread Dressing
The secret is out. Abileen makes her cornbread dressing, a Thanksgiving staple, ahead of time to let them stale on the counter
so that her finished dish has the appropriate crunch. We’d love to blow Abileen’s mind with this version of cornbread dressing,
which starts with cooked cornbread and cooks in a slow cooker, leaving your hands free for other labor-intensive Thanksgiving
dishes and maybe even a little iced tea stirring.
