How to Make Excellent Cornbread Stuffing
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 2 stalks celery (chopped). Cook until tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked vegetables with 6 cups crumbled cornbread, 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon sage, 1/4 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth, ensuring the mixture is evenly moist but not soggy. Add more broth if needed.
- Pour the stuffing mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish or a small roasting pan.
- Cover the dish and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cover and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
