Cornbread Dressing with Sausage

Susan's two girls and my two boys grew up together

Get in the car! This is a terrible setup for failure. You want a piece of this

There's not one thing going on over there that's supposed to be that way. What

Oh, God, I just lost five years of my life. Who would have thunk it that three years ago when we told Mama

to get us on Paula's show, that we'd be driving the special guests. I know, and today is the best one

I know. There they are. Look how cute they are. I know, their precious self

They're griping because we're late. Oh, unlock the door. Amy's gonna leave them in the dust

Still aggravating. Yes. After all these years. We were just talking about how..

Don't wait, Jamie had gotten in the car. Oh, God. Like y'all drove from Albany or something

I'm sorry. Amy just was saying how... I'm going to hear your mouth. Hey, girls. Hey

What's happening? What you got? Just a little chewing gum. I still do that to this day

So we're doing Thanksgiving at Mama's house. What y'all going to make? We're going to make some cornbread dressing with some sausage in it

I like sausage and dressing. I like sausage. Me too. Me too. What y'all going to be making today

I don't ever know. Mama just kind of tells us. I am loving the gangsta. How do y'all stay so thin

and fit. You look good, both of you. I mean, both of y'all look better than y'all have ever looked

What about us? What do y'all think about us? Same. Y'all look the same

Y'all wouldn't say it. The same? Well, that ain't damn good. If you were any better than you are now

nobody could stand you. That's true. Y'all look the same. I mean, y'all ready to get out of the car with us

Yes. Yes, they are. I don't know who you got the drunk, but he just said, yeah

Oh, you just missed the list. Go back to Albany. Hey, now, y'all used to not be this mean

Y'all used to be so... And, Bobby, you were real sweet. I know you're a little

I'll see y'all inside. But I love y'all. Love y'all. Love y'all

It's good to see the boys. It was. I love them so much. So let's get going

Let's get going. Come on. Let's get going. Y'all look like Halloween in your black and orange

Well, heck. I don't know what I look like. You're not black and..

I don't know what color this is, Suzette. It's orange. It is kind of orange

It's orange. So we all three look like Halloween. Yeah, we do

You know what we got. Let me tell y'all this little funny story

Y'all get to busy getting hard. Let's get this meat on. Yeah. I'm going to go ahead and show up these on

All right. The sweet one has always been strong as an ox

All of her life, she has beat Jamie Dean at arm wrestling

You made me sound like a brute. I remember when Jamie was 12 and 13 years old

he was so ashamed that a girl beat him at arm wrestling. She can still do it. When is the last time y'all arm wrestled

They did it a couple years ago, and the only reason that Jamie won

is because he did like this to Suzette shirt and then she jumped back Yeah I not saying it didn happen Yeah we did Y we got a pound of sausage We never going to get this done

because she's going to keep talking. But I've got a pound of sausage that I'm browning right here

Yeah. Suzette is chopping up some celery and an onion. Onion. And Paula over here is going to chop up some spring onion

And once we get done browning this, I'm going to take it out, and we're going to put all this

In that goodness. In the drippings. And at home in Louisiana, we call this the Holy Trinity

The onions, the celery, and the parsley. Bell pepper. Oh, what? Get back, Jack

I'm telling you. We didn't do any bell pepper in this. No, but this is a semi-Holy Trinity

We feeling a little sinners coming on today. Here's some garlic, too

Oh, I hadn't crushed that. Well, I was going to give it to Sue. I mean, that big going hit

She's got that big onion to do. All right. All right, listen

This is a savory cornbread dress. I got a question to ask y'all. All right, ask me. As close as we've been over the years

as many places as we've gone, and as many weekends we've spent at each other's house

we have never spent Thanksgiving together. I know. That is weird. I know, I know

We all went to Louisiana for Thanksgiving. I know, y'all did. Y'all get in the car and drive all the way to Louisiana

And we were in Statesboro every year. And we were in Statesboro every year. That's right. So here's my question to you

and give it a little thought now. What is your favorite Thanksgiving memory? Oh

Probably being in Louisiana with all of our family, that they're all Cajun, and it's an all-week-long celebration

Drinking and eating. Eating and drinking. They do a whole pig, and they do it in a..

Who does the cooking at all of us? All of us. Our cousin, Kurt, he does..

He takes an old Frigidaire, and he guts it out, and he hangs a pig inside there in the Frigidaire

frigid air and smokes it all night long. It builds a fire underneath it

In the refrigerator. In the refrigerator. And in their neck of the woods, nobody has grills

On the back porch, everybody's got an old frigid air. But they bury that pig all night long and they smoke it

With it open or closed? Closed. It's a closed coffin. Don't want to look at it

So they smoke it all night long. And you're talking about the finest groceries you ever flopped a lip over

I am not kidding you. They're wonderful. And they don't do, like, in the South

our mother, she does a lot of vegetables for Thanksgiving. In Louisiana, the only vegetable

you're going to get is salad. That's just a salad. It's a little bit of lettuce with some Italian dressing

And that's all you're going to get. And that's it. Let's get this stuff going

Are you ready for this? I've got to take this out. Can you give me a little plate or something to take this out

How about a bowl? That'll work. We need to start going ahead and crumbling up our..

Oh, okay. Paula, what do you do? Cornbread. Would you mind, Miss Pearl? What kind of cornbread

Now, y'all would never make a sweet cornbread. No. No. Are you kidding me? We don't like no sweet cornbread

Okay. See, I've raised these girls good, y'all. Well, this is how we got this one

Let's get it. Bring it up. Bring it up. All right y I going to leave a little bit of the drippings in here to do my vegetables in You got to have a little Well you can always add a little butter because you ain got much liquid

Two sticks, sister? Bring it on. I know what I'm doing. That's my book

Paula, be so proud. They've got the cutest little website. Yeah, y'all got to go

And these two girls... All right, I got all my stuff ready. I'm talking

Bring it on. Imagine that. All right, bring on the vegetables. All right, and when you get this business ready..

So these two girls, y'all, are known for their trips. Our dashboard concerts

What? Dashboard concerts. Bullion Cube. And, uh... Three, three. All right, Nat, where would they go to see y'all's trips

You can go to www.thesweetandsavoryeatsisters.com. Or YouTube. And if you need a laugh, you just pull it on up

They're funny. But y'all, it's just about having fun. And getting in the kitchen

Our girlfriends get in there, and we just have us a good time. You never know who you're going to see on their dashboard

Yeah. Who that person is sitting in the back seat. You never know who's there

Who's steering the car is what I want to know. And he does it with her knee. With her knee, son

And if there's a drum solo, hang it up. What color car should I tell everybody to avoid when they do it? Silver

The key, yeah. The key. A silver key, if y'all see them pull over

Yeah, well, they get on by. All right. We have browned a pound of sausage

We took it out. We added our two sticks of butter. And then we added our onions and celery, garlic, bouillon cube

Saute that a little bit. A little parsley. Now I've added back the meat

The biggest part. And now we're going to mix it with the cornbread. Okay

And then we're going to add some chicken broth. Okay. Let's go ahead and add just a little bit, you think

Oh, no, I'd add that, and then I'd add the chicken broth in here. I think we're going to put in three to four cups of chicken broth

Now, this is the goodness right here. I love good stock. Good old chicken stock

I love to make my own stock. We do, too. It's so easy

I know. So what I'm interested in seeing is the consistency that y'all make for your dressing

because mine is almost soupy. Yeah. Well, you know, this is pretty much like your recipe, too

I don't like no dry, crumply dressing. Because you make good dressing

And y'all can get that recipe also on Paula Deen Network. You can get it on the Sweet and Savory Sisters, Dr. Young, too

Yeah, we steal her recipes and put them on there, too. All right, I'm going to. We give her credit. And Bobby and Jamie's, we steal theirs, too

They don't know it, but we do. I think it's going to need all of that

Yeah. And it's going to need all of that. I'm thinking so, too

So what is that a total on? That's probably, yeah. A four cups

All right. That's wet. But once we add our eggs. You think that's wet enough? Well

Well, bring on the eggs. Let's check it out. Now I'm going to pour in four eggs beaten. OK

And I'm going to get ever dropped. OK. It soak it up Yes But those eggs are going to cause this to get thick as well Okay I have to say when I make mine mine a little bit soupier than that Can we get some more

chicken broth? No, not for me now. No, we're not. We're going to make

you brown. No, no, no. I want y'all to do it the way you do it

I'm just saying mine. Alright, but I do want to add. I did add

a little salt. Just a little more. And then you're going to spray you a wonderful Paula Deen cookware

casserole dish. I got Paula Deen cookware for my birthday. Sure did

I'm so glad. Look at there, y'all. Look at that goodness. All right, get that spatula right there

so you can get all of it. Yes, ma'am. Come on, I'm hot. I know

Now, how long you gonna bake that for? 350 to what, about an hour, hour and a half

Oh, no, honey. It'd be so dry at an hour and a half. I can't let you do that

Well, hold on. I'd say 45 minutes to an egg unit. Okay, now

All right, now we're going to put this in the oven? Yes. Bring it on

Ooh. All right. Now let's cook it. We're going to check it, like she said

in 45 minutes. But it ain't going to be ready. Uh-uh, we're going to need an hour

Yum. Look up there. Look up there. Jamie, it looks pretty good

It's good, girls. That's good. Get back, Jack. It really stood out like a casserole

That's very good. All right, girls. You want to bring it over here

Y'all got some friends over there. Come on. They are looking comfortable. Y'all come on up

We ain't going to wait on y'all. I would so serve this at Thanksgiving

Girls, it's delicious. Y'all, I just want to say we are so grateful to be here with all of y'all

and I'm especially grateful to be part of the Paula Deen Network

and I'm so very proud of you and the boys. I got chill balls

And I'm proud of y'all. And happy Thanksgiving, y'all. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all

You got a convertible? Now, Jamie, I know you're serious now. You cannot hurt me

I ain't never listening to this story again after I tear your shoulder out of your socket

You will never talk about it unless with me again. Come on. All right, hey. Jamie, don't let us down, baby

Don't let the Dean down. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. And my thigh's showing good

Get ready. Go. Go, Jamie. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Where are you, Bobby

Robbie is embarrassed and ashamed. He's going to do it. Take him down

He's going to lose. Come on, y'all. Come on. I'm ashamed. Don't you let me do it

Jackie, that's it. Wow. Give me some of that
