Ingredients for Excellent Cornbread Stuffing

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • Garlic Clove
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • Carrot
  • Water

How to Make Excellent Cornbread Stuffing

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth, ensuring the mixture is evenly moist but not soggy. Add more broth if needed.
  4. Pour the stuffing mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish or a small roasting pan.
  5. Cover the dish and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 30 minutes.
  6. 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.
