Print Recipe

A savory Southern classic, this Sausage Southern Cornbread Stuffing combines flavorful sausage and crumbly cornbread for a perfectly moist and comforting side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups crumbled cornbread (preferably day-old)
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and cooked through. Remove sausage and drain excess fat, reserving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
  3. Add butter, onion, celery, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine crumbled cornbread, cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, parsley, poultry seasoning, sage, salt, and pepper.
  5. Whisk chicken broth and eggs together, then pour over the cornbread mixture. Gently toss until well combined and moist.
  6. Transfer mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the stuffing is heated through.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding chopped pecans or dried cranberries before baking. This stuffing pairs wonderfully with roasted turkey or chicken.
