For a richer flavor, brown the mushrooms in the butter before adding them to the cornbread mixture. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as diced carrots or bell peppers, to the dressing. If you prefer a moister dressing, add a bit more chicken broth. For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth and use cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken. The dressing can be assembled a day ahead and refrigerated. Add about 15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
