You can safely freeze dressing before or after it is cooked.
Cooked cornbread dressing should not be left at room temperature for more than two hours to prevent the risk of bacterial growth. If the room temperature is above 90°F (32°C), this time reduces to just one hour. To ensure safety, it's best to refrigerate or freeze leftovers promptly. Always reheat thoroughly before serving.
Yes, it should be safe refrigerated for 3 to 4 days before cooking it.
The safest method to thaw frozen cornbread dressing is to transfer it from the freezer to the refrigerator and allow it to thaw overnight. This slow, gradual thawing process helps maintain the texture and flavor of the dressing. Alternatively, you can reheat the frozen cornbread dressing directly from the freezer in the oven, but this method may result in uneven thawing and potentially alter the taste and texture of the dish.
That will depend upon the recipe, but I would think it should be cooked within a day or two.
You can make your cornbread dressing more moist by adding more broth to the recipe. When you pour the dressing into the baking pan, if you have a little broth standing on top, it should turn out moist. Another way is, when you add the broth to the dressing mixture, stir it well, and let it sit for a little while to allow the cornbread to absorb the moisture. Then add more broth. I have also checked the dressing during baking, and if it seems to be getting dry, I drizzle broth over the top and put it back in the oven. The broth you add will absorb into the dressing.

I've wondered about this to and may have to try it. It SEEMS like it should freeze okay. I make a cole slaw for the freezer that has a very similar oil and vinegar and sugar base that is great. Beans freeze great on their own, so it seems like beans should freeze fine in that same dressing. If I try it I'll let you know the outcome!
