How To Make Keto Cornbread Dressing
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Heat a pan over medium and add the sausage. Cook the sausage until it’s cooked through.
Next, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery.
Cover with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the carrots are mostly cooked through.
Then, add the seasoning and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Then, add the eggs and melted butter. Stir the batter until thoroughly combined.
Add the meat mixture to the batter and mix until combined. Pour the batter into an 8×8-inch baking pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until it is browned on top and the center is set.
Substitutes and Variations
- Sausage Substitute: You can use ground turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option or even try a vegetarian sausage if preferred.
- Veggie Options: While carrots, onion, and celery are classic, you can add other low-carb vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
- Butter Substitution: If you prefer dairy-free, swap out the butter with coconut oil or avocado oil.
- Sweetener Choices: Use any keto-friendly sweetener, such as monk fruit or erythritol, to add a subtle sweetness without the carbs.
Keto Cornbread Dressing FAQ
Can I make this dressing ahead of time?
Yes! Prepare the recipe up to the baking stage, cover tightly, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to serve, bake it fresh.
What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F until warmed through to retain its crispy topping.
Can I use a different flour for this recipe?
Almond flour is best for keto diets due to its low carb content. Coconut flour doesn’t work as a direct substitute here, as it absorbs more moisture, altering the texture.
Can I make this vegetarian?
Yes! Replace the sausage with a plant-based sausage or sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian-friendly option.
Can I freeze this dressing?
Yes, keto cornbread dressing freezes well. Store it in a freezer-safe container for up to a month, then reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
