Italian Sausage Cornbread Dressing

11/14/12

Although I have already shared my Old Fashioned Cornbread Dressing with you all, I felt the need to give you a variety this holiday. This year I’m sharing my Italian Sausage Cornbread Dressing, and honey it screams the holidays. Whenever I make this dressing it always remind me of episode of ” The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air” when all of the women were fighting about who made the best dressing. I specifically remember one of them making a sausage dressing.

I made this recently for one of  my many dinner parties, and it between this dressing, and my creamy macaroni and cheese my guest were head over heels!

The key ingredient to this dressing in absolutely the Italian sausage. I prefer using mild Italian sausage, but you can use hot if you choose. You can definitely take some shortcuts with this recipe by using boxed cornbread instead of my homemade sweet cornbread.

    I was at the store today buying a little here and there for the holiday. $$ is low. I bought 4 boxes of jiffy..I never made corn bread before and only made stove top dressing…This recipe is a first. Although you didn’t use jiffy how many boxes should I use..dumb question maybe, but how many boxes is a loaf? everything I cook from your channel comes out great. I dont want to mess this up since I volunteered to make it this year. I also bought sweet Italian sausage. I neglected to write down the recipe before I went to krogers. I may make two pans of this

    Hiiiii Rosie, I found the exact recipe a (Italian Sausage Cornbread Dressing, and planning on making it this weekend. I do plan on using jiffy for my first try, how many boxes are good to make the loaf. Maybe 1 or 2? Just want to be sure, thanks.
