Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 F Degrees.
In a large bowl mix together all of the ingredients except the sliced jalapeños.
Pour your batter mixture into your cast iron skillet ( spray your skillet with some olive oil to coat before adding in the batter so it does not stick ) Spread the batter evenly with your wooden spoon in the skillet then top with some sliced jalapeños...use as many as you like.
Place your skillet in the oven on the centre rack and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before cutting.

Notes

If you have a lot of time and want to prepare a make ahead cornbread dressing do this: Bake your cornbread and cut it into cubes let it dry out for a few days by letting it sit out. Stale, dried-out bread makes the best stuffing.
If you don't have a lot of time bake your breadcrumbs in the oven at 250 Degrees for 1 hour until toasted and dry.
If you have any leftover cornbread stuffing mix try making some low carb stuffing muffins. You can bake individual portions of the stuffing in muffin tins.
When it is time to clean your cast iron skillet try using a plastic mesh produce bag ( the kind that holds onions) and swipe the pan clean. The mesh bag doesn't damage the seasoning the way steel wool will, and you don't have to ruin a scrubber pad with grease. A wad of heavy-duty aluminum foil will also work.
