Authentic Creole Cornbread Dressing

okay folks look it's all in the title we making the Creo cornbread dressing super easy and guess what I'm going be using some canned goods now if you guys look at these ingredients it's not a whole lot to it please don't let the lack of having a whole lot of ingredients make you think that this is not going to be good super good right so I'm going to go ahead and get right into these uh into the prep work prep work is really really easy now this is andoy sausage right notice how I just cut that down the middle and then you know most of your links and sausages got that little curve so I kind of like just straighten it out and I bring it down this way just a little bit of a tip so you can keep your cut cuz look if you do it straight you guys can see it's not going to be right right so I just start here and just straighten it up get it down the middle and just cut [Music] it then once I have them cut down you see what I'm doing right here you know real you know real simple now it's up to you how meaty you want yours to be for me I like everything that I do I'm a meat lover folks now this is that chicken and Dey right if you guys come in here and take a look at that I want you guys to see you can see the seasoning inside embedded in the actual and dewy sausage right so that right there is where we going to get a lot of that Flavor now just cuz I'm cutting all this down I'm going to still look at it and see so I can get my ratio right I'm going to put a little fire underneath I'm going start with like a medium flame you guys let me stand next to it so you guys can see you know what I mean just that's what I mean when I say a med medium flame right that right there do it I just want to start warming up the pan while you know my pan is still coming up right we already did our uy I'm going to go ahead and prep my celery I've already washed and cleaned it and then I'mma to dice down my uh you know my bell pepper we want to go ahead and preheat our oven right so I'm going to go bake you know what I mean now we going to put in 350 and we start this is so simple and easy to make and again please don't let this uh the lack of a lot of ingredients you know tell you that this is not good this right here wi them over too you know what I mean and don't forget the full ingredient list is on my website smoking and Grilling with a.com and that's wab.com I know andoy going to render a lot of fat a lot of goodness right but I'm going to go ahead and drop that in there like that just to get it going right then that'll melt now you want to put your Ando in right just to help it along and tell me this who doesn't like butter now by me having a a little bit of this butter in here I want you guys to notice look at the color that you're going to see in just one second and then we all know the little Pro tip is if we take a little olive oil right that protects that butter keeps it from burning now it's really about multitasking especially with just being the holidays right so we got that going now I'm going to go ahead and just cut down my bell pepper actually that's about all I'm going to need so I'm going put this in a you know Ziploc I'll save this for another recipe now I'm going to go ahead and cut these down right like you saw that I didn't need all that whole bell pepper you know what I mean uh you'll see why it's like you just don't want to have you know so much in there you know what I mean you don't want to like overpower it you really just want to have that blend same thing you know with our celery break it down I cut my celery I dice it down just a little bit on the bigger side you know I still like to be able to see it and I like to be able to have some Integrity so I like to Crunch of celery too now with our veggies done all right doy and release what it's going to release right I'm not trying to it's got like a little bit of a light sear I don't know if the camera's going to pick that up but this is where we going to get that flavor from along with sautéing our vegetables right and then don't forget we going to season this with a little bit of that Creo kick so I'm going to go ahead and just put this in here like that and the reason I'm pushing it gingerly because you see that right there I want to keep some of that in there cuz like I said we got a sauté now while the pan is still hot right you can see that right there any bits or anything whatever you guys are using as far as your pan go that you go in ahead and did your endu in anything that's left on the bottom which would be called the fine then we can go ahead and put our veggies in and then when we add our veggies guess what it'll pick it all up and we going to get all of that flavor in [Music] there now what we doing we multitasking right veggies uh a sautan look I'm going go ahead and take some nonstick spring and what we want to do is we just want to spray this cuz we don't want nothing to stick right I'm going to move this over here for a second I'mma bring my cornbread here and then I'mma bring my bowl now let me just give this another Little Mix we starting to get there I can feel hot when you're using the spat how it's you know touching it you can feel like it got a little structure you know what I mean but it's starting to soften up if you guys been cooking just for a minute you know what I mean but we got to start doing it especially for my new people trust me this is a great recipe for you guys to get started with you want to bring something to the uh family you know function as far as uh like the family uh get together the Thanksgiving or something like that hey better yet you want to sample it out do it for a friends giving now you want to go ahead and just take your corn right now I'll leave a link the link should be right up there to the cornbread that I make this is the one that I make every year there's no need to like redo that one but listen you want to make sure that it's been out a day or so you know what I mean so that it can completely dry out that's why it looks like this and it'll break like that right so then you just want to get in there with your hand just like this you just break it [Music] up so I just give give it a little bit of this all my pieces don't have to be like super you know fine like some of this is right I just break up what I can cuz you know what once we put our wet in here this is going to be more so on the Wet Side like how Granny used to make it you know so take that let's come back over here look at these these veggies working ah yeah now I'm going give you guys a little uh little heads up on myself if I have these ingredients in my house I make dressing in the middle of the night it's so easy to make right so we just take it turn that off look we just add it right here just like this now you guys can sauté them however you would like and again I can't stress enough if you guys are doing some kind of friendsgiving you know what I mean uh this will get your confidence up to make you know to see if you want to make it for your family right so I'm going get in here now and just give it a little mix I bet you some of y'all looking at this right now saying I didn't know that making you know cornbread dressing was this easy now the rest is going to be real easy here we got cream of celery cream of chicken right you just want to go ahead and add this to it just like this I got it this going to be thick you know I cook with gloves I really like to get in there with my hands to do a little mix right so one down two down and then we said it's a Creo cornbread dressing right so after we put that in Dey sausage in there that gives us a hint of that but how we tie it all in is it's the seasoning that we going to be using folks it's that Creo Creo kit that I use right then the only thing we going to have is just our broth so now I'm going to put in about a tablespoon and a half and this is it right here Creo kick sweet Smokey Joe you guys know that I swear by it you know what I mean uh and I'm going to say this listen you don't want to overpower but you want to give it that that Creo authenticity right oo I said it y'all you know what I mean so we got that in there I'm going start off you know using my hand and I'm going to change my gloves and I'm going come back well let's see if we can get it in here like this so it's mixing okay you know but it's really going to mix once I add this chicken broth to it once you got it mixed now notice I haven't put none of my stock or broth but this is chicken right I haven't put that in there and it just gets a little bit what am I trying to say I'll just show you like this I can take this squeeze it and see how it stays I mean that's good but it's going to dry out cuz we going to put it in the uh in the oven but we want to add that flavor to it too also now some of you guys grew up where your grandmother used to put oysters in there this will be the time I'd put more oysters in and keep everything you know get it all mixed up right but I'm going add a little bit now this part is completely up to you guys it's about how wet you want your dressing to be right now we put that corn in there I promise you it's going to absorb a lot of it I'm going to get all of that in here but if you want to put more in there it's up to you I would just say I would just suggest that you follow this recipe just the way I have it on my site and don't forget that's smoking and Grilling with a.com and that's wab.com you know what I mean and then after you made it once you know I mean then you decide if you want to to be less dry or more wet or you like the way that we made it right here now if you guys look at this right here this is going to be the consistency that we start with hopefully you guys can catch this really hard to do on camera but you see how I have it on there I can hold it upside down high it sticks I got to like you know jiggle it a little bit just to make it you know fall off right so this is what you want now and that greas 13 by9 all right we put it in just like this all right now what I'm going to do now is I'm going stick this in the oven right here's the thing we not going to cover this we want to Brown the top also and help dry it out just a little bit right but in the inside is still going to be nice and moist right we going to stick it in the oven I'm going to put this in the oven for about 30 minutes you know what I mean usually I've never gone past 45 minutes so I'm going to say 30 minutes we'll check it see where we at and then we'll go if we need to go a little longer we give it you know a little longer in five minute increments and while I'm doing that don't forget I got these aprons folks you guys might want to pick one of these up listen now I'm able to custom you know write your name three different fonts but you guys got it got burgundy olive green and everybody see me working in the dinner so putting this in the oven right now don't forget 30 minutes uncovered all right folks now look just took this out take a look at that right there I hope the camera is catching that look you see the little darker brown I love the edges I know everybody fight for the edges cuz it's got that crispiness in it and then when I go ahead and hit this on the inside it's going to nice and moist you can see the andoy you can see our veggies on top this right here is what it is folks now if you guys are doing a turkey you know you got them dripping so you got that gravy and guess what folks I didn't already made that video so I got them dripping I didn't made that gravy so let me go ahead and plate everything up and then uh take some pictures make the plate a star make this a star you know what I mean and uh and then we move on [Music] [Music] all right folks look I'm trying to hurry up you know what I mean I've been like holding myself back cuz when I actually scoop some of the cornbread dressing
