Cornbread Stuffing

Ingredients 

Aromatics & Herbs

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion medium, finely chopped
  • 3 celery ribs finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp rubbed sage dried
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or ½ tsp dried
  • ½ tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp chicken bouillon powder
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs

For topping

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter sliced

Instructions

  1. After making the skillet cornbread, leave the oven on 375°F (190°C).

Combine Dry and Wet Components

  1. Cube the cornbread into 1" cubes.
    Cubed pieces of yellow cornbread, perfect for a Thanksgiving Side or classic Cornbread Stuffing, are spread out on a white cutting board, which sits on a wooden surface. Ideal for your next Holiday Recipe.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients by gently folding everything together until fully combined. You want the cubes to be moist but not soggy — they should hold their shape when pressed together. If it seems too dry, add up to ½ cup more broth.
