Description

A savory stuffing recipe featuring crumbled cornbread and crispy bacon.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups crumbled cornbread
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the celery and onion. Cook until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the crumbled cornbread, bacon, sage, and thyme into the skillet. Mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and eggs. Pour this mixture over the cornbread mixture. Add salt and pepper. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

Notes

  • For crispier edges, let the stuffing cool slightly before serving.
  • You can substitute turkey broth for chicken broth if desired.
