Looking for the perfect cornbread stuffing recipe for your holiday meal? This cornbread dressing is a staple in many Southern households for good reason – it’s absolutely delicious! Serve it alongside slow cooker creamed corn and bacon roasted brussels sprouts

Today we’re talking about stuffing, because Thanksgiving is almost here! There are about ten million ways to do stuffing, but this Southern cornbread dressing is my favorite. It’s moist and delicious with a light and fluffy texture and the perfect blend of sweet and savory. Not gonna lie, my husband and I both made this our dinner after I took these photos, it’s just that good.

You’ll notice me using the terms stuffing and dressing interchangeably in this post. So what’s the difference between the two? Not a whole lot, it’s mostly a regional preference as to whether you call it stuffing or dressing.

Dressing tends to be baked almost exclusively outside the bird, while stuffing can either be inside the turkey or in a separate dish. I actually tend to mostly refer to it as stuffing, although I never actually stuff my bird. In the South people tend to call it dressing, and this is a Southern style recipe so there you go, we’ve got Southern cornbread dressing here.

The first step in this recipe is the cornbread. I use my honey cornbread recipe , but you could use store bought cornbread if you’re short on time. I make the cornbread at least one day in advance, stale bread is best for dressing!

The cornbread is mixed with cubes of stale white bread (I use the butter top variety) to form the basis of this dish. The breads are mixed with veggies that have been cooked in plenty of butter, along with some broth, eggs and fresh herbs. Place the whole thing in the oven and bake to golden brown perfection.

You can assemble your dressing up to 8 hours before the big meal. Simply cover your baking dish with foil and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake it. You may need to increase the cooking time a bit since you’ll be starting with a cold dish.

I have a lot of people in my family that are stuffing haters, I can’t wait to unveil this Southern cornbread dressing to them this year to see if they change their minds! In my opinion this is the best stuffing recipe I’ve tried, and I try a different recipe almost every year trying to find one my family will like. The combination of the veggies, two types of bread and fresh herbs just can’t be beat. It’s buttery and delicious just like any good Thanksgiving recipe should be!

Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter and pour into a large bowl. Add the chicken broth, eggs, salt and pepper to taste, and sage and whisk to combine.

Around here we call that stuffing 🙂 I have never had cornbread stuffing before, though – it sounds really good.

This cornbread dressing recipe looks so good. I am in charge of side dishes this year and I am going to make this recipe.

Southern style cornbread dressing is amazing! I just had it for the first time last year, and it was fantastic! The woman who made it put an ENTIRE chicken in it. SO good!

Thank you for this recipe. Some of my family members don’t like dressing (or stuffing), while some feel incomplete without it on Thanksgiving dinner. I will make this southern cornbread dressing anyway because I think it is delicious!

This looks like a really delicious recipe for stuffing. Let me see if my sisters would agree to a deviation from the staple stuffing we have every year. I think your recipe is better!

I have never made dressing before! I have been looking for a good dish to take to our family Thanksgiving, and I think this is the winner. It looks so delicious!

Yes I am going to use the recipe, this will be my first time making dressing for Thanksgiving wish me luck

It looks so tasty and packed with flavor! It’s definitely something that I’d love to have on my table this year. Thanks for the recipe, I’d love to give it a try.

Made this to go with fried turkey for Christmas. Used gluten free cornbread and no bread (gluten free bread doesn’t dry out the same). It was fluffy and delicious. I have missed cornbread stuffing since having to go gluten free. This was a big hit. Thank you!

The honey cornbread is a recipe on my site: https://www.dinneratthezoo.com/honey-cornbread/ . If you don’t want to make your own cornbread, a store bought cornbread will work!

I wonder if this could be made in a instapot? If so what would have to be done differently Timewise ect..

I think it could, you’d likely need to put it in a baking dish on a trivet in the instant pot and put a little water at the bottom of the Instant Pot. I’d cook it on manual for 15-20 minutes. It won’t get that same crispy browned top in the Instant Pot, that’s the only down side!

Looks so good, gotta try it!!! Do you boil the eggs before you add? Really want to make this, just want to make it right.

Trying this for the first time for an event tomorrow. Wish me luck and I’ll upload pictures and let you know how it goes.

I just love a good traditional dish for the holidays. Stuffing is quite possibly my favorite for Thanksgiving dinner! Great recipe, thank you for sharing!

I love cornbread stuffing and I remember that my grandmother use to make it on Thanksgiving. Stuffing is my fav Thanksgiving dish. Thanks so much for this great recipe. I looks yummy.

When I was young, we always made our stuffing from scratch. As an adult, I primarily make it from a box. I think I would like to go back to homemade with this recipe.
