This cornbread stuffing is an easy spin on my Classic Homemade Stuffing, and it is ridiculously amazing. I’m not at all joking when I tell you that this Thanksgiving, I’m making both.
Making Buttermilk
Since buttermilk isn’t an ingredient that most people keep on hand, I like to share a substitute. You can make a buttermilk alternative by combining milk and vinegar, two ingredients people do commonly keep in their kitchens. By combining the right ratio and letting the mixture sit for five minutes, the acid in the vinegar reacts with the proteins in the milk, creating a tangy, slightly thickened liquid that mimics buttermilk’s flavor and texture. This swap works perfectly in this homemade stuffing recipe. However, if you’re really short on time, you can use any cornbread mix too. Just bake as directed on the box and then add it to this recipe. Please note that you will want to follow the measurements in the recipe card below as we are making half the amount that my stand alone recipe calls for. On the other hand, you could make the linked recipe below, use half for the stuffing, and eat the other half!
How Many Does This Serve
This cornbread stuffing easily serves eight hungry adults, but if you have lots of other Thanksgiving side dishes, you may find it can serve more like 10-12. You can simply double this recipe as well. It makes for delicious leftovers!
Make Ahead
Cornbread dressing is one of those dishes you can make ahead of time! Combine all of the ingredients the night before you plan to serve it, and cover and store it in the refrigerator. Then on the big day, all you have to do is pop it in the oven.
Storing and Reheating Leftovers
Store any leftover cornbread stuffing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat the portion you plan to eat in the oven or microwave until heated through. Always use your best discretion when reheating and eating leftovers.

If you make this cornbread stuffing recipe or any of my other recipes, I’d love to hear what you think!
