Being born and raised in New Orleans, I was excited about this recipe. However, I was very disappointed. The cornbread itself was pretty good, and the seasonings were okay. But the texture of the dressing was awful. I couldn't think of how to describe it until I read someone else's review saying it was like oatmeal. Exactly! Gummy. I like a more grainy texture. Sheesh, I hate being the "Debbie Downer."

Great flavor, it feels like a real accomplishment after you've made this and sat down to eat it. We did hold back a bit of the jalepeno, not much, though. It was the perfect spiciness and the stone ground corn meal makes for a great base.

Way too many spices for one dish. If you like spicy then give it a try but for my guests that I served for Thanksgiving this year they were not too impressed.

This recipe was AWESOME! My in-laws loved it and they are very picky eaters. I have never tasted a stuffing so full of rich flavor and texture. I put everything into the stuffing that the recipe called for and I also added a little sage and some boudin. I also did not stuff a turkey with it. I put the stuffing into a large roasting pan and cooked it in the oven on 350 for about 1 and a half hours. I will be making this recipe for years to come.

The best stuffing ever! It was the first thing to disappear at Thanksgiving.

I loved this recipe as well as everyone at Thanksgiving dinner. I did back off on the cayenne and tabasco (actually I am a LA Hot Sauce user!). I added a little Old Bay instead.

Made this for Christmas last year for my Italian in-laws. They LOVED it!! Have been asked to make it again this year; will be cutting back on the pepper combo though as that was the only "suggestion" I got about the flavors.

This is the best stuffing EVER! We've had it for the past 2 Thanksgivings. My boyfriend who doesn't even like stuffing ate it & LOVED it!

We added steamed shrimp, prepared with Old Bay Crab Boil, after the stuffing had been baked and as we were breaking it up into a serving dish. We also used jar jalapenos instead of fresh to reduce the heat, and baked in two casserole dishes. My in-laws have now requested that I make this stuffing every Thanksgiving! Great recipe!
