How to Make Southern Savory Dressing Low Fat

  1. **Prepare the Cornbread:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Mix cornbread mix according to package directions using egg substitute and skim milk. Pour batter into an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking pan coated with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely, then crumble into a large bowl.
  2. **Make the Dressing:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. **Combine Ingredients:** Add all herbs and spices to the crumbled cornbread. Stir in the remaining ingredients (see ingredient list for measurements), ensuring the mixture is very moist. Add a little more water or broth if needed to reach a soft, but not soupy consistency.
  4. **Bake:** Pour the dressing mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-25 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and heated through.
  5. **Serve:** Ladle brown gravy over each serving for an extra touch of deliciousness! Enjoy!
