Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I just couldn't find a stuffing or filling recipe that I was wild about. So, I created this one, and it has been a hit at Thanksgiving for the last 10 years. It's so good, you'll want to Slap Yo' Mama ;-) Hope you love it too!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Cornbread stuffing is a staple on any Southern holiday table. This recipe makes it easy to prepare a phenomenal semi-homemade version. Boxed cornbread and a bag of herb-seasoned stuffing is the base. This moist stuffing is filled with seasonings, sauteed celery and onion, and crumbled bits of sausage. You can taste the beautiful flavor of herbs, cornbread, and stuffing in each bite. It's so good, no one will ever know it's semi-homemade.
