Easy Waldorf Cornbread Stuffing is savory!
Cornbread stuffing brings me back to my childhood. There is just something about it that exceeds the normal bland stuffing recipes out there. Waldorf Cornbread Stuffing exceeds my expectations of what I look for to serve my family! The walnuts and dried cranberries add to the consistency and “pops” of flavor.
This easy side dish will complement holiday meals or a Sunday family dinner nicely. It pairs well with chicken and gravy but could also accompany other dishes too. It is made using 7 simple ingredients and the preparation can be done in minutes. Then transferred to the oven for baking or simply left covered to stand for 5 minutes and serve.
Pepperidge Farm Corn Bread Stuffing is my go-to brand of choice for this recipe. The walnuts need to be chopped small in size. I found using a meat tenderizer mallet and a large plastic ziplock bag to cover the walnuts the easiest method to chop them, but a food processor could be used too to get the same results.
