Bobby Flay’s cornbread stuffing is a Southern-inspired take on traditional stuffing. Made with homemade or store-bought cornbread, it features a medley of sautéed vegetables, herbs, broth, and sometimes spicy sausage or green chilies. Baked until crispy on top and moist inside, it’s rich, flavorful, and anything but boring.
Cornbread (cubed and toasted) – 6 cups
Unsalted butter – 4 tablespoons
Yellow onion (finely chopped) – 1
Celery stalks (chopped) – 2
Garlic cloves (minced) – 2
Green chilies (optional, chopped) – ¼ cup
Fresh thyme (chopped) – 1 tablespoon
Fresh sage (chopped) – 1 tablespoon
Chicken or vegetable broth – 2 cups
Eggs (lightly beaten) – 2
Salt and pepper – to taste
Cooked sausage (optional) – 1 cup, crumbled
Toast the cornbread – Spread cubed cornbread on a baking sheet and toast at 300°F for 10–15 minutes. Let cool.
Sauté vegetables – In a skillet, melt butter and cook onion, celery, garlic, and chilies (if using) until softened.
Add herbs – Stir in thyme and sage, cooking for 1 minute to release aroma.
Combine ingredients – In a large bowl, mix toasted cornbread, cooked vegetables, sausage (if using), salt, and pepper.
Add broth and eggs – Pour broth over the mixture, add eggs, and gently toss until well combined.
Transfer to baking dish – Spread stuffing in a greased baking dish and cover with foil.
Bake covered – Bake at 375°F for 25–30 minutes.
Finish uncovered – Remove foil and bake another 15–20 minutes until golden brown on top.
Serve warm – Garnish with extra herbs if desired.
