Ingredients
For the Cornbread:
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg beaten
For the Stuffing:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 large onion diced
- 3 celery stalks diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 1/2 chicken broth
Instructions
For the Cornbread:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine milk, oil, and egg.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before making the stuffing.
For the Stuffing:
- Diced the cool cornbread into bite size cubes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread cornbread cubes on a baking sheet and toast for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and celery, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add garlic, sage, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- In a large bowl, combine toasted cornbread cubes, vegetable mixture, and fresh parsley.
- Pour beaten eggs and 1 1/2 cups of broth over the mixture. Gently toss to combine. Add more broth if needed, the mixture should be moist but not soggy.
- Transfer to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- For a softer stuffing, use more broth. For a crispier top, leave uncovered for longer during baking.
- Make sure to let the cornbread cool all the way before cutting it into cubes, this helps prevent it from crumbling. Toasting the cubes gives them a nice texture and keeps the stuffing from getting too mushy. If you want to save time, you can even make the cornbread a day ahead!
- The amount of chicken broth you use can vary depending on the texture you prefer. Start with 1 ½ cups and add more if needed. The goal is to keep the mixture moist but not overly soggy, as this can affect the final texture after baking.
- Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
