Another easier option would be to dish out what you need into a small casserole pan, and freeze the extra uncooked casserole (either in a pan or in quart sized freezer ziplock bags). You would use the same baking temperature, but a shorter cooking time (just cook until it bubbles in the middle). <br />I would say that the original makes 12-16 servings, depending on how hearty the appetites are!

It would definitely give a different flavor and texture than the smoked sausage, which is cooked and then ground. <br /><br />You could try it, but I wouldn't experiment with a recipe for a meal like Thanksgiving (better to leave your experiments for everyday meals).

I've seen these two side by side but never thought to combine them this way. Your momma is a genius!! Tell her thank you for allowing you to share this.

I realize that shrimp and grits are not in the ingredients listed, but I think it would be possible to add them and would taste amazing! Just curious though, if I did add the shrimp, do you think I should cook the shrimp BEFORE putting it in the dressing or cook the shrimp IN the dressing? Obviously, my concerns are the shrimp not being cooked till done or being over cooked.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590122433775080780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617482628482712537.post-86390348928020884802013-12-18T15:35:17.512-05:002013-12-18T15:35:17.512-05:00Hi!

The original recipe (known in our family as "Lula's Cornbread") calls for twice the amount of butter, if you ever want to try that. It is wonderful as cornbread muffins (bake for 15-20 minutes in hot greased muffin tins at 450 degrees).
