Kelli says
When using the box of cornbread mix, do I include the seasoning packet that comes with it? Or discard it and only use the dried cubes of bread?
Leigh Anne says
The brand I use doesn’t come with a seasoning packet, I just use the dried cubes of bread
Kathie says
I am Gluten free and dairy free. I am in Canada. I am not familiar with the “boxed cornbread stuffing”. Can I just make my own cornbread and use that?
Leigh Anne says
Kathie, You sure could make your own, just let it dry out before using it.
