Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for greasing
- 14 ounces Mexican chorizo
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 talks celery, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 1/2 teaspoons)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped sage leaves (about 8-10 leaves)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 ½ cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
- 1 large egg
- 8 1/2 cups roughly chopped cornbread (the amount made from a 15-oz box of cornbread mix)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease the inside of a large casserole dish with butter and set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and crumble it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add onion, celery, garlic, sage, rosemary and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until vegetables begin to soften. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, add the chicken stock and egg. Whisk until fully combined.
- Add the cornbread and cooked chorizo mixture to the greased casserole dish. Gently toss together to combine.
- Pour the chicken stock mixture evenly over the cornbread stuffing.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.

Notes
- Cornbread: I made this using a 15-ounce box of cornbread mix I bought at my local grocery store. To make it even faster, you could buy pre-made cornbread if your store has it!
- Chorizo: I used this 14-ounce package of Mexican pork chorizo, but you can also use a soy chorizo if you'd like to make it vegetarian.
