cornbread stuffing

Thanksgiving side dish

Cornbread stuffing is a savory dish made from crumbled cornbread mixed with aromatics like onion and celery, herbs, and broth, then baked.

It's a staple of Southern American cuisine, particularly at Thanksgiving, where it often appears alongside or inside roasted turkey.

The cornbread base gives it a slightly sweeter, grainier texture than bread-cube stuffing: My grandmother's cornbread stuffing is the best part of the meal.
