Description

Elevate your holiday meal with Ina Garten's incredible Cornbread Stuffing! This recipe features savory herbs and a tender cornbread base for a flavorful, comforting twist on a classic side dish.

Ingredients 

  • 8 cups cornbread, cubed (about 12–16 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, or olive oil
  • 2 cups yellow onion, diced (about 2 medium onions)
  • 1 cup celery, chopped (about 2–3 stalks)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 cups chicken stock, plus more if needed
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Cut 8 cups cornbread into 1-inch cubes and let it dry out on a baking sheet for a few hours or overnight. Dry bread = stuffing that doesn’t turn to mush.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter or heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced 2 cups yellow onion and 1 cup celery and cook until soft, about 8–10 minutes. Stir in 2 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons fresh sage, 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary,2 tablespoons fresh parsley,1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  • Transfer the dried cornbread cubes to a large bowl. Pour the veggie mixture over the top and gently toss to combine.
  • Pour in 2 cups chicken stock and stir until the bread is evenly moistened. Add the beaten 2 large eggs and mix gently so everything holds together but isn’t soupy.
  • Grease a baking dish and spread the stuffing evenly inside. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 15–20 minutes until the top is golden and slightly crisp.
  • Let the stuffing sit for 5–10 minutes before serving so it sets up nicely.
