Our Sausage Cornbread Stuffing Recipe cooked in a cast iron skillet, is a “must have” southern side dish. For those of us from the country, we choose to have our dressing and stuffing loaded with flavor.
Finding good dressing can be a difficult task, most severely lack the depth of flavor. When you see good stuffing, your mouth waters in anticipation of that southern taste.
Sausage Dressing Recipe
Living in the country, we raised chicken, so we regularly had chicken as the main course. One of our primary side dishes was cornbread dressing. Granny’s southern sausage dressing was our favorite and was never boring, it was bursting with flavors.
It’s a simple recipe but requires a skillet of cornbread to get it started. As adults, we appreciate it when we get to enjoy real cornbread dressing prepared in a cast-iron skillet like mom and granny made. This is a beautiful and flavorful dish that could be carried straight out of granny’s kitchen!
Southern folks enjoy Sausage Cornbread Dressing year-round with chicken and pork dishes. Most people today only know stuffing that has been prepared from a box labeled Stove Top Stuffing. Your family will appreciate the genuine flavor of the actual southern dressing. Make it for an everyday side dish or for Thanksgiving.
After sampling our homemade Sausage Cornbread Dressing, your guests will uncover what authentic Southern Cooking is!

Looks good! I can't wait for Thanksgiving this year, we all need it and I especially need to have the wonderful smells of roasting turkey and dressing plus all the other things often served,
Please clarify: Do you just use 1 "rib" of the celery or the whole bunch. Just wanted to make sure what you meant.
Thank you.
PS: Love your recipes.

I just used 1 rib (my brother is not a big celery fan LOL). Hope you have a blessed holiday season.
Claudine
Thank you so much Mike for clarifying the amount of celery. I thought it might be just 1 rib, but I wanted to be sure. Hope you and yours have a Blessed Holiday season too.

Is it permissible to omit the chicken livers and increase the quantity of sausage in the recipe?
Mike
Absolutely. If you are not a fan of the livers, leave them out.
