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

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.

My family and friends LOVED this stuffing. Thanks so much for sharing it!
