Jalapeno Cornbread Stuffing Recipe

Wanna know how to make the best Jalapeno Cornbread Stuffing? well, in this blog, I am going to share a mouthwatering Jalapeno Cornbread Stuffing recipe with you all.

I love taking traditional recipes and adding a little something to them.  I have my tried and true stuffing recipe that I learned from my mom and have made for probably 20+ Thanksgivings. 

Those recipes are great, but it is just the same-o, same-o.  You know, every year at Thanksgiving you saute the onions and celery, which, by the way, fill the house with the first aroma of Thanksgiving dinner. 

Then you bust open the croutons, or stuffing mix, or even dry out some day-old bread to make that stuffing, or otherwise known in the South as dressing. 

The one you always do.  It tastes great, and you love making it, but this may be the year you decide you want a little twist on the traditional.  Well, I have just the recipe for you. 

My daughter found this recipe for Jalapeno Cornbread Stuffing in Southern Living Magazine and asked me to make it one year.  Well, I have to say, it is now the “traditional stuffing” in our house. 

You take the basics and add jalapenos, lager beer, sharp cheddar cheese, and green onions for an amazing new flavor burst to your regular, everyday stuffing/dressing.  Happy Thanksgiving with a twist!
