Stuffing or Dressing?

Stuffing. It’s the one thing that people miss at the holidays. Stuffing shouldn’t just be relegated just to the holidays, though. I received a panicked email during Christmas, when someone’s stuffing mix supply ran out. I tried to encourage the writer that it’s not all that hard to make. Use the recipe for Bette Hagman’s gluten free cornbread, and you’re halfway to this delicious gluten free cornbread stuffing.

Gluten Free Bouillon

I originally posted this recipe for my gluten free cornbread stuffing in 2017. I did it in a hurry, because I wanted everyone to have it in time. However, it contained only one picture. To be honest, it wasn’t a great one. So here I am, a year later, updating the post with images that tell more of the story. My recipe calls for using gluten free bouillon and water. (You can use chicken stock if you want.) Here are the bouillon brands I trust.

• Herb Ox
• Massel 
• Edward and Sons Bouillon Cubes

Gluten Free Cornbread Stuffing KEY INGREDIENT

My recipe for gluten free cornbread stuffing contains one important ingredient. Cranberries. Some may not agree, but I feel it adds an added sweetness to the dish. When I can, I prefer to use Michigan brands, such as Graceland Fruit.

I first tried their products at the Third Coast Bakery grand opening. Luckily, I can find these whole ones at my local Meijer. I added them whole to my gluten free cornbread stuffing, but suggest chopping them up a bit before adding them to yours.

Don’t wait for the holidays to make this gluten free cornbread stuffing. This dish is good anytime of the year. While it’s tasty with turkey, it’s succulent as a side to sausage as well. You can use it to make waffled stuffing, that would make one heck of a base for a meatloaf sandwich. Either way, you can easily make this gluten free cornbread stuffing part of your meal rotation.
