Expert Tips:
- If you have a lot of time and want to prepare a make ahead cornbread dressing do this: Bake your cornbread and cut it into cubes let it dry out for a few days by letting it sit out. Stale, dried-out bread makes the best stuffing.
- If you don't have a lot of time bake your breadcrumbs in the oven at 250 Degrees for 1 hour until toasted and dry.
- If you have any leftover cornbread stuffing mix try making some low carb stuffing muffins. You can bake individual portions of the stuffing in muffin tins.
- When it is time to clean your cast iron skillet try using a plastic mesh produce bag ( the kind that holds onions) and swipe the pan clean. The mesh bag doesn't damage the seasoning the way steel wool will, and you don't have to ruin a scrubber pad with grease. A wad of heavy-duty aluminum foil will also work.
Recipe FAQ's:
By preparing your own homemade cornbread breadcrumbs using low carb ingredients like almond flour, coconut flour and heavy cream your cornbread dressing will not be high in carbs. A healthy cornbread dressing should have under 10 carbs per serving.
Cornmeal has about 30 net carbs for a ¼ cup. So not the best choice for a keto diet. If you love the flavor of cornmeal just make your own low carb keto cornbread recipe.
When you are making stuffing from low carb cornbread there is approximately 256 calories per ½ cup serving.
Traditional stuffing or dressing as some call it, is normally prepared with breadcrumbs which are high in carbs, and not keto friendly. Try making homemade Keto Cornbread Stuffing to make your own low carb breadcrumbs.
Keto stuffing actually tastes better than traditional stuffing because you are literally making it from scratch. Normally most folks buy a bag a pre-made breadcrumbs add some butter and water and that is it...not very exciting. Making your own Low Carb Keto Cornbread from scratch to create the breadcrumbs for your Keto Stuffing enables you to add in lots of flavor by using a variety of fresh herbs and spices.
You will never want to use a store bought bag of stuffing after you make your own low carb bread crumbs, and I guarantee if you serve both even the non Keto guests will be digging into your low carb stuffing.
What Kitchens Tools do I need?
- a 10 inch Cast Iron Skillet
- a large Bowl for mixing ingredients
- a wooden spoon for stirring
Do I have to use a Cast Iron Skillet?
If you don't own one yet you can use a round cake pan to bake your Keto Cornbread and then use a casserole dish to bake the stuffing. I do recommend using the Cast Iron Skillet as it heats up evenly and it is super easy to go from stovetop to oven in one shot.
Are you a Weight Watcher?
If you follow my blog you already know I am a lifetime Weight Watchers member so I like to add in the point value of the recipes. Since this is a Keto Stuffing with all the goodies it is 6 points for a ½ cup. Weight Watchers has 3 New Programs right now to make it easier to enjoy the foods you love and still lose weight.
I go back and forth between the Purple Plan and the Blue Plan and when I plateau I do my own 30 Day Low Carb Meal Plan which jumpstarts the Fat Burning again…… If you want to see new WW Food Lists for each plan just click Here…
