Cornbread Sausage Stuffing

This Southern-style cornbread stuffing has a rich, almost spoon bread consistency and a toasty golden top. It’s a bit  more time-consuming than traditional sausage stuffing because it’s made with homemade cornbread (no cheating! store-bought cornbread is too sweet and won’t work), but you can break the steps of the recipe up over a few days, if you’d like. The cornbread in the recipe is intentionally dry and bland, so don’t worry if you taste it while you’re cooking and it seems plain; the sausage, eggs, and butter in the stuffing add tons of flavor and richness. This stuffing is best cooked in a baking dish separate from the turkey.

What you’ll need To Make Cornbread Stuffing

ingredients for cornbread stuffing

This recipe calls for spicy pork sausage. The sausage doesn’t add a lot of heat to the dish, but if you’ve got guests that are sensitive to heat, feel free to substitute the spicy variety with mild/sweet sausage. The only real difference between the two is that the spicy version contains some red pepper flakes in addition to the other seasonings both varieties have. You could also use chicken or turkey sausage.

How To Make Cornbread Stuffing

Begin by making the cornbread. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs.

To make the stuffing: Place the sausage in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat.

cooking the sausage for cornbread stuffing

Cook, stirring and breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to the largest bowl you have (it needs to fit all the cornbread), leaving the fat in the pan.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions, celery, and 3 tablespoons of the butter to the pan. cooking the vegetables

Cook until the vegetables are softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.

Add the dried cornbread cubes to the sausage and vegetable mixture and pour the egg mixture over top. Fold the mixture a few times with a large rubber spatula, being careful not to break up the cornbread too much. Let the mixture sit, folding carefully a few times, until the cornbread is saturated, about 10 minutes.

mixing all of the components for cornbread stuffing in a bowl

Transfer the soaked cornbread mixture to a greased baking dish, and make sure that the sausage and vegetables are evenly distributed. Try to arrange some of the larger pieces of cornbread on top; it looks prettier. Dot the top of the stuffing with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter.

How to Make Cornbread Stuffing Ahead of Time

The cornbread can be prepared up to two days ahead of time. Cut it into cubes and let it dry out on the countertop overnight instead of toasting it in the oven. If you’d like the assemble the stuffing in advance, prepare it up until the point of baking, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate up to a day ahead of time. When ready to serve, bake as directed, allowing a few extra minutes in the oven.

Ingredients

For the Cornbread

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1¼ cups yellow cornmeal
  • 3 tablespoons sugar

  • 5 garlic cloves, chopped
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh herb blend (I use equal parts thyme, rosemary and sage)

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

For the Cornbread

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Butter and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or spray with a nonstick cooking spray with flour, such as Baker's Joy.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the milk and whisk until evenly combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk mixture and the melted butter to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake until lightly golden around the edges and set, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack until cool enough to handle, 20 to 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 250°F and set the oven rack in the middle position. Cut the cornbread into 1-inch squares. Place the cut cornbread on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 1 hour. Cool the cornbread on the baking sheet, about 15 minutes.

Cut it into cubes and let it dry out on the countertop overnight instead of toasting it in the oven. If you'd like the assemble the stuffing in advance, prepare it up until the point of baking, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate up to a day ahead of time. When ready to serve, bake as directed, allowing a few extra minutes in the oven. It can also be frozen after baking, tightly covered, for up to 3 months.

  • This recipe was outstanding and very simple to make. I substituted dried spices for the fresh and used Jiffy cornbread to make this last minute addition and everyone still raved! Thanks so much for a simplified version of a great dish.

  • I wanted to try a new cornbread dressing recipe and this was perfect! It was a hit at my Thanksgiving table and turned out even more flavorful than I’d hoped. I followed the recipe exactly as written except I crumbled half the cornbread and cubed the other half – loved the consistency as a result. I used spicy Italian pork sausage and it added lots of flavor and moisture without too much heat. This will be my new go-to recipe at holidays!

  • Do you use the entire pan of cornbread in the dressing/stuffing recipe?

    • Yes that’s correct. Enjoy!

  • I’d like to divide this into 2 separate pans. 1 to cook now and one to freeze for later. How long would I cook for 8×8 pan? And is it necessary to bake both before freezing 1??

    • Hi Belle, I think the cook time will be 30 to 35 minutes, and it’s fine to freeze the second pan before baking.

  • Hello,

    Can I use Plant base butter and Oat Milk for to substitute for Milk and butter? Have you tried substituting before?

    Thanks in advance.

    • Hi Jackie, I haven’t tried it with those substitutes but I think it should work. Please LMK how it turns out!

      • Just made this, and something seems to have gone wrong. The eggs look scrambled through, rather than a custard-y sort of binder. Can’t figure out where I went wrong! Still tastes good, but the texture isn’t right.

    Happy Thanksgiving

  • Two Questions: 1) Can I use beef broth for a guest that doesn’t eat poultry?
    2) Can I divide it up to bake in smaller dishes ?

    • Yes and yes. The beef broth will slightly change the flavor of the stuffing but it will still be good (and make sure you get low-sodium beef broth). Hope everyone enjoys

  • My mouth is watering looking at this recipe. I really need a different stuffing recipe this year and this looks like IT. Do you think beef chorizo would work with this? I have family that doesn’t eat pork and I feel like turkey sausage wouldn’t have enough fat or flavor, but which substitution would you recommend?

    • Hi Jay, Beef chorizo would work here. Hope you enjoy!

  • Jenn, thank you for this recipe! I made it for our Thanksgiving last year and I use the top cornbread every time I make your chili recipe! Today, I did both! Thank you! FANTASTIC!

  • So so delicious. I made this according to the recipe using Gluten Free flour and it was great but I felt like maybe too much cornbread. So for Christmas I substituted 1/2 cornbread for just plain white gluten free bread which I toasted and then cooked in oven to get crispy. It was awesome. Both are great but I preferred 1/2 and 1/2 with regular bread. Jen is a star. she is my go to recipe diva!

  • I made this for Thanksgiving yesterday , it was AMAZING! My husband raved about it and said was the best ever! Thank you for your incredible recipes!

  • Delicious- tastes just like my Grandmother used to make. Bittersweet as I miss her so much – it in a way she’s here with us today. Thank you.

  • Hi Happy Thanksgiving. Want to make tomorrow so can I use White cornmeal and buttermilk instead of reg milk?

    • Hi Denise, White cornmeal is fine, but I’d stick with regular milk. Hope you enjoy!

      • Looked at recipe again what size pan do you use and do you butter it before corn bread mixture goes in? Thanks.

        • Hi Denise, Scroll down beneath the photo tutorial or click on the “jump to recipe” button at the top of the page, and you’ll find more detailed instructions. But yes you do grease a 9×13 pan. 🙂

  • Can I substitute turkey sausage? If so, what kind?

    • Hi Denise, Turkey sausage would work here and I’d get whatever brand bulk turkey sausage your meat case carries. Hope you enjoy!

        • Is baking powder really tablespoons? I have never seee that before, but commmenters seem ok with it…. here goes….

            • — Lorraine
          • Hi Lorraine, I think it would work as long as the cornbread cubes aren’t too sweet, and you would need 8 to 9 cups.

  • Hi Jen:

    Happy Thanksgiving. I cannot find any stone ground or wholegrain corn meal in the stores. Is it ok to substitute regular yellow corn meal? If yes, do I buy fine or coarse grind? Or do you think it is better to buy Pepperridge Farm Corn Bread Classic Stuffing and use your Easy Sausage and Herb Stuffing recipe instead?

    Thank you very much for the best food blog site. After trying many recipes from your site, I have learned that your recipes always turn out better than the other recipes with thousands of positive reviews from famous chefs.

    • Hi Cecilia, thanks for your nice words about the recipes – – so glad you like them! Regular yellow cornmeal is fine and I’d go for either the fine or medium ground. Hope you enjoy!

    I am wondering if I could sub bacon for the sausage and if so, how much would I use? My family loves cornbread and bacon stuffing and I have been on the hunt for the perfect recipe for years. Since everything I’ve made from your your book and website comes out fabulous I am thinking maybe this might be it! Looking forward to hearing from you!

    • Hi Denise, I haven’t tried this with bacon but I think it would work. I’d recommend 3/4 lb. Please LMK how it turns out if you try it with this tweak!

  • Excellent, flavorful stuffing! This recipe’s a keeper.

  • Our host got sick for Thanksgiving and I was given the job of stuffing on short notice. I’ve never made stuffing and was a bit worried! I made this and it was a huge hit. I ended up using 3 Jiffy cornbread boxes and the directions for those baked for 40 minutes and then followed the recipe after that. Everyone said the stuffing was the highlight of the meal. This has been requested for next year. Thanks for sharing!

    • Reply
    • Hi Janice, Honestly, I’m not sure…I didn’t measure when I was testing the recipe. But if you wanted to wing it, you’d need enough cubes to fill a sheet pan in a single layer. That said, I really recommend sticking with the cornbread recipe here; it’s intentionally dry and plain so that holds up well and complements the flavors in the stuffing. I’ve tried the dish with other cornbread recipes and it doesn’t turn out as well. Hope that helps!

  • Could I actually stuff the turkey with this stuffing. Our family prefers the turkey with the stuffing cooked inside the bird not as a casserole.
    The same question for your herb and sausage stuffing recipe….they both look so delicious. It is such a treat receiving your weekly emails…thank you for your inspirations! Ps. Love your cookbook!!

    • Glad you are enjoying the cookbook! 🙂
      I wouldn’t recommend using this stuffing inside a turkey- it’s got a souffle-like texture and I fear that if you push it into the turkey cavity, it will just come out too mushy. You can use the herb and sausage stuffing in a turkey; you may want to cut the broth back a little as the turkey cavity will add a decent amount of moisture to it. Hope that helps!

  • Can I make this gluten free by using one of the gluten free flours?

    • Hi Karen, I haven’t made a gluten-free version of this, but I suspect it should work. I’d love to hear how it turns out if you make it this way!

  • How is this cornbread for serving as is? I’m looking for a good basic cornbread recipe. Thanks.

    • Hi Eileen, I definitely would not use this as cornbread – it’s intentionally dry and plain. Instead, I’d recommend this recipe (which you can make in an 8-inch pan and cook for 30 min, if you’d like).

  • Can I make and bake on Tuesday night and warm up in the oven on Thanksgiving?

    • Hi Karen, I think it would be much better if you assembled it on Tuesday and refrigerated it, then baked it on Thursday.
