A Whole Foods Thanksgiving – Caramelized Onion and Cornbread Stuffing

Nothing says Thanksgiving to me like this caramelized onion and cornbread stuffing!

I’ve been serving this stuffing for several years now and it always draws high praise. I love it because it’s not too complicated but gives big flavor. Sweet caramelized onions, earthy sage, cornbread and butter, that’s basically it. You bake it until the top turns golden brown with crispy edges, then everyone asks for seconds.

As a bonus, you can go ahead and make the cornbread well ahead of time. I made a pan this week, it’s waiting in the freezer for Thanksgiving. I can set it out to thaw the night before Thanksgiving, then assemble and bake on the big day.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large yellow onions, chopped
  • 1/2 pan of cornbread, cut in bite-size pieces (click here for the gluten free and whole wheat cornbread recipes )
  • 15 fresh sage leaves, chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF and adjust the rack to the middle position. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and stir occasionally until golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Add sage and stir for about 30 seconds. Remove skillet from the heat. Add cornbread pieces. Whisk together egg, cream and chicken stock and then pour over cornbread mixture. Season with salt and pepper and stir until incorporated. Pour stuffing into a buttered 11x7 baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown.

    Looks delicious, Carrie! What a pleasant surprise - I really love cornbread but I had never even heard of cornbread stuffing before! Thank you!

    This looks awesome! Any idea if this could actually be stuffed into the turkey and baked? Maybe wouldn't add the chicken stock then? Thanks!

      I haven't tried it, but I see no reason why you couldn't. I'd actually leave in the chicken stock, but take out the cream. Cream inside a turkey may not turn out too well. :) Let me know if you try it! I also want to try this stuffing with sausage...I think it would be amazing!

    Has anyone tried making this dairy free? I was thinking grapeseed oil in place of butter and coconut or rice milk for the cream? Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi Carrie - in the last month I have made this cornbread stuffing, the green bean casserole, pumpkin whoopie pies, fresh apple cake, chocolate cake, and cream of tomato soup. You're amazing! I loved them all and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from my friends and family. Keep up the good work!
