Instructions to make Southern Squash Cornbread Dressing:

1. Prepare cornbread as per the package directions. It is better if you do this the night before but not necessary. Set aside.
2. In a large pan, cook squash, onion, garlic & celery with bay leaves, poultry seasoning, sage, salt & pepper in butter & chicken stock until very tender, 20-30 min. stirring often.
3. Remove both bay leaves.
4. In a large bowl, mix crumbled cornbread with squash mixture.
5. Add beaten eggs & stir very well.
6. The consistency at this point should be medium-thin (a bit soupy). You may need to add more chicken stock but water will suffice if you are out of stock. The dressing will thicken up a lot when cooking; the worst thing is if its too dry.
7. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with Pam & pour mixture in (I usually have enough to make 2 pans & freeze one before baking to cook later). Bake in a 300-350 degree oven for about 30-45 min. After 20 min or so you may need to tent with foil to prevent edges from becoming too dark.
8. Top with grated cheese & place under broiler for a min or two. Watch carefully so cheese doesn't burn.
9. Even better the next day!! If dressing becomes too dry, you can always poke holes around in top & spoon on a little chicken stock; should soak right up.
