This hearty stuffing is sure to deliver the perfect combination of savoriness and nostalgic comfort. Rely on a few convenience food items like store-bought cornbread and precooked chicken sausage to streamline the prep. The chestnuts add a buttery sweetness and captures traditional holiday flavors. Look for them on the baking aisle at your supermarket. The addition of chopped fresh sage would be delicious in this stuffing. Stir in a few teaspoons if you have some on hand. If you’d like, you can get a jumpstart on this dish by making the cornbread a few days ahead and store covered at room temperature.
