Thanksgiving's Southern Hen & Cornbread Dressing

This recipe is fantabulous....count it as special that I am sharing:)

This is the absolute best dressing ever and I know that because everyone has told me......the first time i wanted to make dressing, I got the recipe from Maw Neal....then i added some of Meme's recipe...and then I added some of mine.
So, here is what you have....it's dressing...it's not stuffing!!! You hear that Utah??? It's dressing! I promise, you taste this and you will wonder why you have been eating that stuffing mess your whole life.!

Margret McGowan’s Dressing Recipe
(a combination of Maw Neal’s, Nell McGowan, and Margret McGowan’s recipes)

· Boil 1 Hen, let cool, de-bone, and set aside. Save broth.
· Make 2 pans of cornbread using buttermilk and 2 eggs each, set aside and let cool (i will post the standard cornbread recipe )
· Boil 5-6 eggs, peel, chop, and set aside
· Fry 1 lb. of bacon, drain, and set aside.
· Use bacon grease in pan to sauté 2 finely chopped onions and 1 pack of finely chopped celery. (best if you use a food processer or a chopper)

· Add 1 can of cream of chicken soup and 1 can of cream of celery soup (do not dilute with water) to onions and celery and set aside.
· In a very large roaster pan, crumble cornbread, shred 7 pieces of white bread, add 5 boiled eggs, salt and pepper to taste, soup mixture, bacon crumbled, 5 raw eggs whipped, and pulled hen. Stir in hen broth until real moist. (kind of soupy)
· Bake at 350 degrees until done.
· Enjoy!
