Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing.
Step 1
To create the perfect stuffing, start the day before you plan to serve it by preparing the cornbread mix according to the package instructions.
Step 2
Once it’s baked to golden perfection, gently remove it from the pan and cover it with a cloth, allowing it to dry overnight.
Step 3
While you’re at it, tear the firm white bread into bite-sized pieces and let it sit out overnight as well; this will help achieve that delightful texture we all love in stuffing.
Step 4
When you’re ready to cook, about 30 minutes before serving, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 1 1/2-quart baking dish to ensure your stuffing doesn’t stick.
Step 5
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the spicy pork sausage, breaking it apart as it browns for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 6
Once it’s nicely browned, add in the sliced celery and chopped onion, cooking until the onion turns translucent, which should take around 8 minutes.
Step 7
Stir in some dried sage for that aromatic touch.
Step 8
In a large bowl, crumble the dried cornbread and the torn white bread into 1/2-inch pieces, then pour in the melted butter and mix gently to combine everything.
Step 9
Next, add the sausage mixture and stir lightly to incorporate those delicious flavors.
Step 10
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and eggs, then pour this mixture into the bread mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.
Step 11
Now, transfer the stuffing into your prepared baking dish, cover it with foil, and pop it into the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until it’s heated through.
Step 12
For that perfect finishing touch, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the top to become beautifully golden brown.
Step 13
Your stuffing will be a warm, inviting dish that’s sure to impress your guests!.
