My Sausage Cornbread Stuffing brings a traditional southern twist to your Thanksgiving Day meal. All the flavors of the season!

Every year at Thanksgiving I try to experiment with different stuffing recipes. I love stuffing. It is so simple but I always think it’s one of the best parts of the Thanksgiving meal. I also have an annual friendly competition with my niece to see who makes the best stuffing. I give her credit, she can make a mean stuffing.

This year for Thanksgiving my son wanted me to go a more traditional route and not add any strange ingredients to my stuffing. So I was at my local Meijer the other day and decide to pick up my ingredients for this years stuffing.  To make him happy I decided to stick with a traditional Sausage Cornbread Stuffing from a recipe I found on Jimmy Dean® website.

To make my Sausage Cornbread Stuffing I baked my cornbread the day before to allow it get a little stale.

While my sausage was browning I crumbled and toasted my day old corn bread for about 10 minutes. When the sausage veggie mixture was browned I removed it to a bowl with a slotted spoon. I then drained and wiped out the cast iron skillet.  In the bowl I mixed the sausage mixture with poultry seasoning, toasted cornbread, fresh parsley, chicken broth and the beaten egg.

I returned the stuffing mixture to the cast iron skillet and baked for 45 minutes covered. Uncover and bake for another ten. The stuffing was moist with a crispy top and oh so good served alongside roasted turkey, Brussels sprouts and some of my Maple Pecan Sweet Potato Skillet Souffle.

    It’s funny you ask because everyone in my family calls it dressing, but I’m married to a “yankee” who calls it stuffing so now I call it stuffing as well. This stuffing looks delicious! [client]

      I was going to do a longer segment on the topic but it didn’t work out. It really is more of a South and North thing and not whether it is stuffed in the turkey. Happy Thanksgiving!

    This looks amazing! We call it dressing. I think it might be a southern thing? Whatever it is called yours looks delicious!

    This looks SO delicious! Stuffing is always one of my favorite dishes at Thanksgiving, although somehow I don’t think I’ve ever had a cornbread version. We’ve always called it “stuffing,” even though we don’t bake it inside the bird so I guess technically it’s “dressing.”

    I’ve grown up with it being called dressing (aka in southern-ese: dressin’). I was actually confused during our few years in PA when a friend made stuffing. Either way, this dressin looks delicious. Thanks for sharing!
