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.
