Cornbread Sausage Stuffing

Ingredients:

  • 1 batch homemade cornbread or store-bought, crumbled
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (you can use sweet or spicy, your choice)
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup chicken broth (more if needed)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and get that 9×13 baking dish ready for some stuffing magic!
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it’s browned and crumbly. Drain any excess grease, then add the onion, celery, and garlic. Cook until the veggies are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread, the sausage and vegetable mixture, fresh herbs, and beaten eggs. Pour in the chicken broth gradually; you want it moist but not soggy. Mix gently until everything is well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Transfer that beautiful mixture to your baking dish and spread it out evenly. Cover with foil and pop it into the preheated oven.
  5. Let it bake for about 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

When you pull that stuffing out of the oven, just know your house is about to smell like Thanksgiving heaven. Serve it up beside your turkey and watch everyone go back for seconds! Trust me, this cornbread sausage stuffing is gonna be the star of the show!
