    This is some of the most delicious stuffing I’ve ever tasted. The toasted cornbread, sausage, and pecans make for a truly unique, scrumptious stuffing recipe.

    So flavorful. All the herbs and spices? It’s a unique blend of seasonings that really make your dish stand out.

    INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE SAUSAGE CORNBREAD STUFFING:

    • 1 pkg. Jimmy Dean® Premium Pork Roll Sausage, Sage or Regular
    • 2 cups chopped celery
    • 1 cup finely chopped onion
    • 4 cups coarsely crumbled cornbread
    • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
    • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • 1 egg, lightly beaten
    • ½ cup chopped pecans, optional

    HOW TO MAKE SAUSAGE CORNBREAD STUFFING:

    1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Cook sausage, celery and onion in large skillet over MEDIUM-HIGH heat 8-10 minutes or until sausage is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently; drain. Spoon into large bowl.
    2. Add cornbread, parsley and seasoning; mix lightly. Add broth and egg; mix just until blended. Stir in pecans, if desired.
    3. Spoon into lightly greased 2-quart casserole or souffle dish; cover.
    4. Bake 45 minutes or until thoroughly heated, uncovering after 35 minutes.

    And the cornbread is no slouch. You toast it up a bit to add some texture. Plus, the pecans I mentioned earlier. It’s really a break away from ordinary stuffing.

    Pop it out of the oven and serve family style or in individual servings, as I did.

    handy tools to easily make sausage cornbread stuffing:

    • oval ramekins – easily display toppings, dishwasher safe, versatile for use
    • casserole dish – easy handling, easy to clean

    I mean, don’t you just want to dive in?

    Honestly guys, you will not regret giving this one a place at your holiday table. I am *not* one to break away from traditional family recipes, but this one is a worthy exception. It is-hands down- the best stuffing I’ve ever had.

    frequently asked questions

    What is the difference between stuffing and dressing?

    Basically stuffing goes in a turkey or meat and dressing is cooked in a pan. 

    How do you fix mushy stuffing?

    If your stuffing comes out mushy you can dump it out onto a sheet pan and then cook it a little longer to crisp it up. 

    Should stuffing be covered when baking?

    Yes, you should cover the stuffing for the majority of the cooking so it does not dry out. Then you can remove the cover to crisp up the top.

      I have used this recipe for 20+ years. LOVE IT. This year I added a chopped jalapeno pepper. Not complaining.
