Sausage Cornbread Dressing

This recipe for Sausage Cornbread Dressing has been the favorite at our house for decades!  It is not Thanksgiving at house without it!

Cornbread Dressing

This sausage cornbread stuffing is my families favorite Thanksgiving side dish.  It is a traditional cornbread stuffing with sausage and rice.  The perfect flavor combination to compliment all of the traditional Thanksgiving flavors.

Sausage Cornbread Dressing

We have been making this dressing for Thanksgiving  since the first time we enjoyed it over 20 years ago when we spent Thanksgiving with Aunt Dawn and Uncle Glenn up in Washington!  I promise you will love Aunt Dawn’s Sausage Cornbread Dressing recipe.

How to Make Dressing:

To make sausage cornbread stuffing, start by cooking the rice until fluffy and browning the sausage.

Next, melt butter and saute the celery and onions until they are soft.  Mix together cooked rice, dressing, cooked sausage, celery and onion mixture.  Add in chicken broth and stir to moisten.

Then place mixture in a 9 x 13 pan, cover, and bake at 350 degree for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake for
another 15 minutes until browned and crispy around edges.

Sausage Cornbread Dressing

I love the combination of cornbread stuffing, sausage and brown rice in this recipe.  The brown rice adds a nice texture and a nutty flavor. I’d love for you to try it and maybe it will become your family’s favorite too!

    Best stuffing ever! This comes from someone who has eaten their fair share of stuffing in my day. I even took second place once in a stuffing eating contest. If you know what’s good for you will make this stuffing this Thanksgiving, I’ve eaten it every Thanksgiving for the last 23 years and it never gets old! (Oh I’m the one on the far right of the picture under favorite things)

    I knew we were soulmates since I like my stuffing dry, too. I’ll definitely have to try this. Oh, and your son’s comment cracked me up. Stuffing eating contest? Who ever heard of such a thing? This must be some good stuffing!

    OMG!!! Leigh Anne – this was the most delicious stuffing I’ve ever had & my family agrees! I added some sauteed mushrooms & next time might add some chopped pecans & maybe craisins or raisins. Thanks for the wonderful recipes you share! I’ve already told several friends about it & posted a link to your website so they could make it.

    Don’t know if you were in Provo or not, but we were there for Kay family Thanksgiving and I HAD to run to Wal-Mart to pick up the caramel chips you claimed were only in the Provo Wal-Mart. LOL. I am sure I will get around to making your recommended dessert, but the thrill of having something no one else in my city has is even sweeter.

    I just got back from picking up all the ingredients, but ran into a snag when looking for cornbread dressing – nothing out here (in Ohio) comes in a box with two pouches! What brand do you use, and how many ounces of dressing are in the box?? Thanks for your help!

    you could just use any cornbread stuffing and I would think a box of it would work whether it has one or two bags in it? I have used the Mrs. Cubbison’s brand I think it is called .

      Leigh Ann or anyone that can answer this question. In this dressing receipe it says use 1 box corn bread dressing. Do you mean buy cornbread mix and make it like you would for regular dressing? Sorry, this may be a silly question, but I rarely cook.

        Not a silly question. You use the cornbread dressing mix that comes with the dried cubes of cornbread. Does this make sense?

    I usually make an all meat stuffing, but I tried this stuffing with the corn bread and Jimmy Dean sausage for an early Thanksgiving dinner last month and my family “gobbled” it up.
    They raved about it!

    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?

      Kathie, You sure could make your own, just let it dry out before using it.
