Thanksgiving bonus–best dressing recipe…ever
Okay folks, this is a public service anouncement. It will make your Thanksgiving dinner.

Vertis Mason’s southern cornbread dressing:
4 cups cornbread crumbs (made with buttermilk)
2 cups biscuit or day-old bread crumbs (made with buttermilk)
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tart apple, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning or 1/2 teaspoon sage
6 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
1/4 lb. Butter, melted
4 cups hot chicken broth

Combine breads, celery, onion, apple and seasonings; mix well. Combine eggs and milk; pour over bread mixture. Combine butter and broth; pour over mixture. Let set for 15-20 minutes. Pour into greased pan; bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

No kidding: This is the best Thanksgiving dressing you’ll ever eat.
