  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

My mom has made this every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas since it was published back in 1999. Last year, I made it for my inlaws. I take time to bake the cornbread from scratch and follow the recipe to the T. It's wonderfully spicy, but that's how we like it in The South. =)

Loved this! Very addictive! However, I found this way too spicy for my tastes, so next time I will cut the cayenne pepper in half! I ended up making another batch of dressing with no crawfish or spices in it to mix with the original recipe, and that made it just right.

I made this for Thanksgiving 1999 and I have been asked to make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas ever since. Because of my husbands preferences I have made minor adjustments. I mix Jiffy cornbread and Herbed stuffing mix together. I also, add chopped celery in with my onions and green peppers. It is a wonderful recipe!Enjoy!!
