Ingredients

• 4 cups cornbread, crumbled
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup sour cream

How to Make Savory Cornbread Stuffing

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper, cooking for an additional minute.
4. In a large bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in the vegetable broth and mix until just combined.
5. Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown on top.
6. Meanwhile, prepare the mashed potatoes. Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
7. Add the heavy cream, milk, and sour cream to the potatoes, mashing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Once the stuffing is done baking, serve it warm alongside a generous scoop of creamy mashed potatoes.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use day-old cornbread for a better texture in the stuffing.
• Feel free to add in some sautéed mushrooms or nuts for added flavor and crunch.
• Adjust the seasoning based on your taste preferences—don’t be afraid to get bold with herbs!

Easy Variations

• Swap the vegetable broth for chicken broth for a richer flavor.
• Incorporate dried cranberries or apples for a touch of sweetness.
• Use different fresh herbs like sage or parsley for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• Roast turkey or chicken for a classic pairing.
• Grilled vegetables for a lighter option.
• A rich gravy to drizzle over both stuffing and mashed potatoes.
