Best stuffing ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have never like cornbread stuffing--my family likes bread stuffing. However, since this recipe has little cornmeal and... bread cubes, I decided to try it. I love it--I am going to make it every chance I get; My husband will eat this first batch with fried chicken., My daughter-in-law is a vegetarian, and she can eat this stuffing. I made the recipe exactly as directed BUT I mixed the onion, butter, spices mixture into the batter (didn't make sense to me to leave it on the bottom), and I added whole kernal corn (about 2 c.) to the mixture. I baked it in a casserole dish, and it was done in exactly 50 minutes. I let the bread cubes soak in the mixture for about 15-20 minutes before baking so I didn't get any lumps of bread in the dressing. The browned edges were also tasty. This is going to become a Thanksgiving tradition at our home.Read more

My Family Loved It!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for the first time and my entire family loved it! Instead of parmesean cheese I used cheddar. It went so fast... that next time I will need to double the recipe. Very moist, great flavors!!Read more

It's a New Favorite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this a couple of times. I could never go back to making regular corn bread. The last time I made this I used... sharp cheddar. Both ways are great. The sharp cheddar gave it a pretty good flavor. We love it!!!Read more

Great but not Excellent
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this last night for dinner and was very excited to give it a try but the results were somewhat disappointing. First of... all, it was way too heavy on the onions and I love onions, but they were just too much. The finished dish was also way too oily for my liking and a little bit on the salty side. But it wasn't horrible and definitely not bland like a lot of reviews have said. I also used cheddar cheese rather than parmesan because my boyfriend doesn't like parmesan. That could have contributed to the oiliness of the dish. But my boyfriend enjoyed it more than I did. Next time I'll probably use less butter, salt and onion. Otherwise a very good recipe.Read more
