Ingredients

1 pkg Pioneer® Yellow Corn Muffin Mix, prepared
1 pkg Pioneer® Country Gravy Mix, prepared
16 oz breakfast sausage
1 cup celery, sliced
1 cup onions, sliced into half-moons
1 tbsp garlic, sliced thin
1 ½ cups chicken stock
¼ cup parsley, chopped

This Sausage Cornbread Dressing Recipe uses Pioneer Yellow Cornbread Mix as the foundation for a perfectly textured, deeply savory dressing that pairs with any holiday spread.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat oven to 375°F.

  2. Dice the Cornbread

    Dice prepared corn bread, about 1-inch pieces. Set aside.

  3. Brown the Sausage

    Brown the sausage in a skillet and break into small crumbles. When fully browned, remove from skillet and drain all but 1 tbsp of fat.

  4. Sauté Aromatics

    Saute in the same skillet: onions, celery, garlic, and parsley, for 2 minutes on medium-high heat. Then transfer all contents of the skillet plus the browned sausage to a large bowl.

  5. Prepare Gravy Mixture

    Add chicken stock to the prepared Pioneer Country Gravy, stir.

  6. Layer and Pour

    Back in skillet, add half of the diced cornbread, then top with contents of the large bowl. Then pour the prepared gravy and chicken stock, evenly, over the ingredients in the skillet. Top with remaining diced cornbread.

  7. Bake Until Set

    Bake for 30 minutes. Tip: For a spicy twist on this recipe, use chorizo instead of breakfast sausage.
