Cornbread Stuffing

Cornbread Stuffing

Cornbread Stuffing

Cornbread stuffing is essentially a savory bread pudding which uses a classic American quick bread made from ground corn meal, cornbread, instead of wheat bread as a base. Cornbread stuffing, or technically cornbread dressing (stuffing is cooked inside the turkey while dressing is baked in a pan) , is a welcomed addition to any and all Thanksgiving dinners. In my family growing up, stuffing was the  holy grail of side dishes on that special day every November. The red peppercorns are by no means traditional, but a decorative additive.

**I recommend making the cornbread for this recipe a day in advance so it has time to get a bit stale, thus, making it better for soaking up the chicken broth and setting properly.

**Better than Bouillon base is a bouillon paste which can be reconstituted with water to make broth or used as a base in soup, stews and other recipes. It is available in both organic and non-oranic varieties, and comes in different flavors such as chicken, vegetable, beef. I highly recommend this as a staple product in your kitchen.
