Instructions
Cornbread
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Mix in milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
- Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cornbread to cool completely, then cut it into 1-inch pieces. Place the pieces on a baking sheet and transfer the baking sheet back to the oven to toast the cornbread for about 10 minutes.
Stuffing
- Turn down the oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the onions, celery, and garlic until soft and translucent (approximately 7-10 minutes).
- Mix in thyme and sage, parsley and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the sautéed vegetables and herbs to the bowl of cornbread pieces, mixing well.
- Gradually stir in the broth, ensuring the mixture is moist but not soggy. Mix in beaten eggs, and add salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss in the dried cranberries.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crisp.
- Allow the stuffing to sit for a few minutes, then serve warm as a hearty side dish.

Notes
- Cornbread Prep: Make the cornbread a day ahead to save time on the day of cooking.
- Vegetable Substitutions: Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for a different flavor profile.
- Herb Variations: Dried herbs can be used, but in smaller quantities as they have a more concentrated flavor.
- Broth Tip: Adjust the amount of broth based on the desired moistness of the stuffing. Start with less and add more as needed.
- Cranberry Twist: The dried cranberries can be replaced with raisins or chopped dried apricots for a different sweet and tart element.
- Make-Ahead: Assemble the stuffing a day in advance and keep it refrigerated. Bake it just before serving for the best taste and texture.
