Looking for an old-fashioned cornbread stuffing recipe like your grandmother used to make? Our Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread Stuffing recipe is a throwback to simpler times when a cast-iron was used for everything. Before beginning, you will need to make a batch of our Old Fashioned Cornbread, which is the base for our stuffing. We toast the cornbread and add a fragrant blend of vegetables, herbs, and broth. This recipe uses a simple seasoning and bakes the stuffing until it obtains a perfect crunchy outside and moist inside.
This isn’t the recipe to try if you’re looking for a new and different holiday recipe, but it’s perfect if you’re going for classic and traditional textures and flavors.

Ingredients
- 1 recipe Skinny Ms Old Fashion Cornbread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1/4 cup celery diced small

Toss in toasted cornbread to combine. Gradually add warm stock, about 1/4 cup at a time until absorbed. Mix should be moist, but not soaking wet.
- Leave stuffing mix in pan and transfer cast iron pan to the oven. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until top is crunchy and beginning to brown. Allow to set for 5 minutes before serving.
