Try serving it stuffed inside your turkey. Many people already enjoy dressing this way, and if you haven’t served it like this before, it may be a fun surprise for your guests. The juices from the turkey also add more flavor to the cornbread stuffing and help to keep it warm and moist.
Another option is to make individual cornbread dressing cups. Instead of baking the dressing in a casserole dish, portion it into a muffin pan and bake it. Remove the stuffing cups and add them to a basket on the table. Instead of scooping the dressing from a dish, guests can just pick one from the basket. The dressing will still hold together, but guests can enjoy their own personal serving.
You really can’t go wrong with this cornbread stuffing recipe for your Thanksgiving dinner. You may enjoy it so much that you decide to make it a part of your regular family dinners. It’s delicious and is the perfect side for your holiday entrée. Don’t be afraid to play around with the recipe and make it your own.
