How to Make Cornbread Sausage Stuffing

  1. Brown 1 lb sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon, reserving 2 tablespoons of drippings in the skillet. Drain sausage on paper towels.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 stalks celery, chopped, to the skillet. Saute in the reserved sausage drippings until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sauteed vegetables, 6 cups cubed day-old bread, 2 cups crumbled cornbread, 1 teaspoon dried sage, 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Gently toss to combine.
  6. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, mixing until the stuffing is moist but not soggy.
  7. Option 1: Stuff the mixture into a turkey cavity. Option 2: Pour the stuffing into a greased 13x9 inch baking dish. Dot with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes.
  9. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
