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!

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.

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.

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!
