Tips:

  • Use a variety of cornbread. This recipe works well with any type of cornbread, so feel free to use your favorite recipe or a store-bought mix.
  • Don't overcook the sausage. The sausage should be cooked through but not dry. If you overcook it, it will be tough and chewy.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give your stuffing the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Don't pack the stuffing too tightly. The stuffing should be light and fluffy, so don't pack it too tightly into the baking dish. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Let the stuffing rest before serving. After the stuffing is baked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to serve.

Conclusion:

This chorizo cornbread stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, this stuffing is sure to be a hit.
