Cornbread stuffing can be stuffed into the cavity of poultry while cooking or cooked like a casserole as a side dish. You can add additional seasonings, if you like, or keep it simple. This is a great side dish for poultry and pork.
This side dish is a great option for leftover bread which tends to go hard quickly when camping. Although a cornbread stuffing, this variation also includes white bread to balance out the sweetness of the cornbread. Chicken stock and vegetables help to add moisture.
Although this recipe uses a casserole dish in a camp oven, it also works well cooked in a Dutch oven with coals. If you like a crispy top, do not cover the casserole when baking. For a moister side dish, cover the casserole with a lid or foil to trap the steam.
