Why You’ll Love This Cornbread Dressing

Cornbread is a Southern staple that adds a rustic texture and just the right amount of sweetness to your dressing. Combined with the juiciness of sausage and boudin, it absorbs all that goodness from the chicken stock and seasonings, making each bite warm, buttery, and rich.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 8 cups dried cornbread cubes

• 15 fresh sage leaves, chopped

• ½ cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped

• ½ Tbsp fresh thyme

• 1 lb boudin, cut into ½-inch pieces

• 1 lb andouille sausage, sliced into ¼-inch pieces

• 1 green bell pepper, diced

• 1 large carrot, peeled and diced

• 2 celery stalks, diced

• 1 medium onion, diced

• 6 cloves garlic, chopped

• ½ stick unsalted butter

• 2 quarts unsalted chicken stock (more if needed)

• 1 Tbsp Lucky Cajun Black Label Seasoning (or to taste)

Instructions

1. Prep the Cornbread Base
   In a large bowl, combine dried cornbread cubes with sage, parsley, and thyme.

2. Sauté the Sausage & Veggies
   In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add andouille, bell pepper, carrot, celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté until browned and tender—about 10 minutes.

3. Mix It All Together
   Add sausage mixture to the cornbread bowl. Stir in boudin and Lucky Cajun Black Label Seasoning.

4. Add the Stock
   Slowly mix in chicken stock—start with 1 quart, then add more as needed until the dressing is moist but not soggy.

5. Bake or Chill
   Transfer to a covered baking dish. You can refrigerate it for up to 2 days before baking.

6. Bake It to Perfection
   Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
