Aunt Katie’s Cornbread Dressing

My Sister-in-law's dressing is the best I have ever had. It's pretty much what made me like her when she started dating my little brother, just kidding! It's so good and my most favorite dish that she always makes me an extra to take home. I hope you enjoy this yummy dressing recipe just as much as I do!
