    How to Make The Most Amazing Savory Cornbread Stuffing from Scratch

    Cornbread stuffing is a quick holiday dish that works perfectly with ham, turkey, chicken or duck.

    If you are looking for additional Thanksgiving recipes that will pair well with this recipe, my Roast Turkey Breast with Duck Fat is bursting with flavor and will be a fantastic choice, or my Succulent Duck Breast might be exactly what your family is craving. Of course no holiday meal is completed with some form of deviled eggs; like my Thanksgiving themed ones or some type of dessert such as my pecan pie.

    This stuffing recipe was inspired by this stuffing recipe featured over on Maple Leaf Farms website. 

    Expert Tips, Ingredient List and Suggestions for Recipe Success

    • Unsalted butter - It's important to use butter that contains no salt when baking when you are already adding salt to the dish.
    • Onion - This helps provide an stronger and unique flavor to the recipe.
    • Celery - A key part of any stuffing dish. The crunch it adds to the dressing is fantastic.
    • Sage - This ingredient is a key part to any Fall dish.
    • Chicken broth - This brings a rich flavor to the dressing.
    • Cornbread Stuffing Mix - You could also use day old bread but this type of mix is the base for your dressing.

    What is the Difference Between Cornbread Dressing and Stuffing?

    Simply put, stuffing goes into a chicken or turkey. Dressing is served as a side. However, you can call either and enjoy it either way as well.

    Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?

    Absolutely! You can make it a few days ahead of time and place it covered in the fridge for a few days before you plan on serving it. When you are ready to put it in the oven, just let it sit on the counter top for 10 to 15 minutes then bake as directed below. The baking time may take a bit longer since you are starting with a colder dressing then if you had just made it fresh.

    Can This Be Frozen?

    Yes! Just prepare as directed, place in a freezer safe container, cover with foil, and place in the freezer for up to two months.

    When you are ready to bake it, place it directly in the preheated oven, however, keep in mind the baking time will be much longer since you will be baking it from a frozen status.

    Step by Step Directions

    There are seven simple steps involved in making this stuffing.  You'll honestly be amazed at how simple it is to make your own homemade stuffing.

    To get the full printable recipe and ingredients, print off the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

    Step 1: Preheat your oven.

    Step 2: Lightly spray your casserole dish.

    Step 3: In a Dutch oven, melt the butter and sauté your celery, onion, sage.

    Step 4: Add in your broth and boil

    Step 5: Mix together the ingredients, pour everything into the casserole dish.

    Step 6: Cover and bake.

    Step 7: Serve and enjoy!
