Introduction
This was my mom's recipe. She didn't really use a recipe though. She just threw in what she had and mixed til it "felt right". Tasting all the way through the process to make sure the seasonings were just right. She would also drop it into mounds on a cooking sheet instead of one big pan and they would be these crispy "drop" dressings. They were wonderful.Also, from this basic recipe you can add anything you like.... Sausage, turkey and drippings drippings, giblets, chicken pieces, pecans.... the possibilities are endless.
