My absolute favorite side dish at Thanksgiving is our Homemade Corn Bread Dressing Recipe (or stuffing).
Forget the turkey, I head straight for the dressing!
Usually, most dressings are made with white bread, but this dressing is a little different.
I love the flavor that the corn bread gives this dressing.
It will definitely be on our Thanksgiving menu this year.
Ingredients needed for this delicious Dressing:
- Cornbread Mix
- butter
- onion
- celery
- eggs
- chicken stock (or broth)
- dried sage
- salt and pepper
How to make Homemade Corn Bread Dressing:
This Homemade Corn Bread Dressing will be the star of your holiday dinner.
Sweet, crumbled corn bread soaks up all the seasonings and flavor so every bite is out of this world.
Step 1: Start by preparing a 16 ounce package of corn bread according to the package directions. I followed the directions to make my corn bread in a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Step 2: After your corn bread has cooked and cooled, crumble it up into pieces and set it aside.
Step 3: Add some butter to a large skillet over medium heat and saute celery and onion for a few minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
Step 4: In a large bowl, mix together the sauteed vegetables, crumbled corn bread, eggs, chicken stock, sage and some salt and pepper. Carefully fold everything together until well combined.
Step 5: Spread dressing mixture in a 9×13-inch baking pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 6: Bake at 350 degrees F. for 35-40 minutes, or until it is cooked through. You don’t want your Homemade Corn Bread Dressing to be undercooked, so be sure the center of it is set up when you take it out of the oven.
Look how light and fluffy that Homemade Corn Bread Dressing is!
Overall, this dish is going to be a hit at your dinner, but in case you need other side dish ideas, we have a few for you!

Ingredients
- 16 ounces Corn Bread Mix (I used Famous Dave's cornbread mix)
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 onion diced
- 3 celery stalks sliced
- 2 eggs beaten
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 teaspoons dried sage
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare corn bread mix according to package directions. Let cool and crumble into bite size pieces.
- Add butter to a large skillet over medium heat and saute the celery and onion for a few minutes until soft.
- In a large bowl, combine celery, onion, crumbled corn bread, eggs, chicken stock, sage and salt and pepper.
- Spread mixture in a 9×13 inch baking pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until cooked through and center is set.
Notes
- To make this ahead of time, make it all the way through step #5. Then just stick in the oven and cook on Thanksgiving.
- Make sure that you use a cornbread mix and NOT a cornbread STUFFING mix. Prepare the cornbread as directed on the package and then when it cools, you crumble it up and use that to make your stuffing. To see us make it, click here: https://hi-in.facebook.com/SixSistersStuff/videos/621558902315761/
