Easy Cornbread Dressing with Sausage!
Hey family! I’m back at it with another Dollar Tree Gourmet recipe. This time around we are making cornbread dressing with pork sausage. It sounds impossible to make such a thing with Dollar Tree food right? Well, it’s not. Believe it or not, this cheap cornbread dressing is made of only 7 ingredients (costing us $7 dollars), and it tastes amazing!
The Dollar tree has two different kinds of dressing mix. They have turkey, and they also have chicken flavored dressing. I used turkey flavored dressing this time around (because it was the first box that I picked up), but chicken flavored dressing can be used as well!
The sausage used in this recipe is by Farmer Johns. The Dollar Tree carries this sausage in classic or hot. I used classic sausage, but if you like spicy food, you can use the hot sausage.

Looks Great!! That is a great idea, and can be used with any box dressing mix. Thank you for sharing!
Looks great Rosie, can’t wait to try it. I watched your video and I noticed when you are browning your sausage you just break it up with your spatula. When I brown any type of ground meat I always use my potato masher, you know, the one like Grandma use to have, the squiggly one, I find it much easier. Just a little tip of mine. Keep up the great work, love getting those emails. Have a great day Rosie 🙂
Nice tip! I will definitely try that!
OMG, this was excellent! I am so impressed. I would never have tried this on my own! Thank you, thank you!
Rosie chile this was the bomb.cm I substituted the pork for turkey and the dish came out delicious I’m so thankful I found your blog
Hi Courtney! I’m glad that you found my blog as well! XOXO
Hello Rosie, do you have a Southern squash recipe with onions and sweeten with sugar. My grandmother used to make it.
I don’t have one posted 🙁
Hi Rosie, do you know where I can find the pepper stir fry? Also, can I substitute the cream of mushroom for cream of chicken? Thanks a ton 🙂
The ones used for this recipe was bought from the Dollar Tree. You can also try your local grocery stores. If you can’t find it, feel free to use fresh peppers & onions.
ok thank you Rosie. I will look for the Dollar Tree here in my town and I want to wish you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving 🙂 I enjoy all of your recipes. Keep them coming 🙂
Thanks so much DOllar tree recipes! Please keep them coming!
Omg, I would have never thought about this. Can you please do more dollar tree gourmet meals?
I’m going to make this for Thanksgiving. I miss my grandma’s dressing. This looks similar, though:)
