Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound andouille sausage links, quartered lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces (about 3 cups)
8 cups chopped onions (about 2 3/4 pounds), divided
5 cups chopped celery (about 10 stalks with leaves), divided
3 cups mixed chopped red, yellow, and/or green bell peppers, divided

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 large eggs
1/2 cup (or more) low-salt chicken broth

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage and sauté until browned, about 6 minutes. Add 6 cups onions, 4 cups celery, and 2 cups bell peppers; sauté until vegetables are brown, about 20 minutes. Add remaining onions, celery, and bell peppers, then thyme and cayenne; sauté until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly.

Tips for Making Andouille Cornbread Stuffing

- Use a combination of dry and fresh herbs for a more flavorful stuffing. - Toast the cornbread cubes before adding them to the stuffing mixture to give them a crispy texture. - Don't overstuff the turkey or chicken, as this can make it difficult to cook evenly. - If you're using a store-bought cornbread mix, be sure to add some extra seasonings to give it more flavor. - Serve the stuffing immediately after it's done cooking, or it will become soggy.
