You can never have too many side dish recipes, so give Mimi's Cornbread Dressing If you have kosher salt, onion, canolan oil, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. This recipe is typical of Southern cuisine. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 2 hours and 5 minutes.
Instructions
Coat bottom and sides of a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 Tbsp. oil; heat in oven 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir together cornmeal mix, next 3 ingredients, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil.
Pour batter into hot skillet.
Bake at 400 for 30 minutes or until golden.
Remove from oven to a wire rack; cool 15 minutes. Crumble cornbread into a large bowl. Stir 5 cups broth into crumbled cornbread until moistened, adding more broth, 1 Tbsp. at a time, if necessary. (

Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel
Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel are my top picks for Southern. In general, there are a few rules that will help you pair wine with southern food. Food-friendly riesling or sparkling white wine will work with many fried foods, while zinfandel is great with barbecued fare. You could try Gunderloch Estate Riesling Dry. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 15 dollars per bottle.
