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.

- 1 loaf of cornbread
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 3 cups plain dressing croutons

- Fold in the cornbread and croutons.
- In a large pan, add two tbsp of olive oil. Place the pan on the stove, and turn the heat to medium.
- Add your Italian sausage into the pan, and cook it until it browns.
- Once your meat browns, add in the chopped onion and bell peppers.
- Saute the vegetables until they soften, and be sure to drain any visible fat.

Hello Rosie my mom always made this every holiday since I was in my teens in my sisters and I LOVED her dressing then other family members we always beg her to make use a pan every holiday lol so after the last holiday I got in the kitchen n I help her so now I eat this once a month for my husband I ssoooooo ADDICTIVE
thanks for sharing 🙂
Yes it is very addictive! I love it!
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
Hello there, where is the measurements to this recipe??
Hi there! I fixed it. It’s now there! XOXO
Thank you dear.
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.
1 box should do it. XOXO
Love your videos, question can you use stove top mix instead of the bread croutons?
sure can. 🙂
I made this and it was AMAZING! Thanks for sharing all these wonderful recipes!
