Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 8.5 ounce packages Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
2 large eggs
⅔ cup milk
16 ounce tube regular pork sausage (such as Jimmy Dean's)
¼ cup unsalted butter (half a stick)
1 cup celery, diced
½ cup onion, diced
1 apple, peeled and diced (any apple works)
1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg, beaten
2 14.5 ounce cans low sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the corn bread mix, 2 eggs, and milk. Pour into baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Set aside to cool. Cut up cornbread into 2 inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.

Add in the onion, apple, sage, thyme, and salt and cook for another 5 minutes until onion and apple soften. Add to the cornbread mixture. Toss together the ingredients. (If making ahead, refrigerate this mixture and proceed to next step when ready to bake.)
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add in the beaten egg and broth and toss gently to combine. Pour into 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes until top is lightly browned.

APPLE SAGE CORNBREAD-STUFFED PORK CHOPS FOR TWO



Apple Sage Cornbread-Stuffed Pork Chops for Two image

These pork chops are going to be a date night favorite in your household this fall. It's a warm, hearty dish that you can make together: One of you can hold the pork chop as the other stuffs it, or vice versa.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 boneless pork chops (1 pound total)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 cup chopped green apple, such as Granny Smith
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
1 cup crumbled cornbread
1/4 cup chicken broth or stock
4 sage leaves, coarsely chopped
Salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Slice into the pork chops horizontally, but not all the way through. (You're essentially butterflying the pork chops and giving them a little pouch.) Set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat up 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the garlic and onion and saute until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes. Add the apple, carrots and celery and cook until softened, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Add in the cornbread, chicken broth and sage leaves, and stir to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully spoon the filling into the pork chops. If they become full and you can no longer stuff anymore, that's ok-save the filling to eat on the side. Use toothpicks to secure the chops shut. If the toothpicks poke out, use scissors to trim them flush to the pork chops.
  • In the same skillet you used earlier, heat up the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Sear the pork chops, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Turn the heat down to medium and continue cooking, flipping occasionally, until the pork chops have cooked through completely, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm with the additional cornbread stuffing!

CORNBREAD, SAUSAGE, APPLE, & PECAN STUFFING



Cornbread, Sausage, Apple, & Pecan Stuffing image

Breads, fruit, nuts, and sausage combine to make a tasty stuffing for a 20-lb turkey or a casserole of dressing on the side. If you're using a smaller turkey, you can put excess stuffing in a smaller casserole dish and bake it while the turkey's resting before carving. Southern influenced, this has become our favorite dressing for Thanksgiving or any special occasion. You could add other fruits (cranberry AND apple, for example) or different nuts or seasonings to suit your tastes. Adapted from "The Silver Palate Cookbook".

Categories     Breads

Time 2h10m

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 tablespoons butter (1 1/2 sticks)
2 cups finely-chopped yellow onions
3 tart apples, cored and chunked, but not peeled (Jonathan, Winesap or Granny Smith)
1 lb bulk breakfast sausage, with sage (or your favorite bulk sausage)
3 cups coarsely crumbled cornbread
3 cups coarsely crumbled whole wheat bread or 3 cups multi-grain bread
3 cups coarsely crumbled French bread or 3 cups Italian bread
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried sage
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups shelled pecan halves (do not chop)
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth (optional, for a more moist dressing)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Melt half the butter in a large skillet.
  • Add onions and cook over medium-low to medium heat until tender and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove onion and butter from pan and put in a very large bowl to be mixed later.
  • In same skillet, melt rest of the butter, add apple, and cook quickly over high heat until lightly browned, but not mushy.
  • Remove apples and butter from pan and put in the bowl with the onions.
  • With the pan back on the burner, add sausage, crumbling as you cook it over medium heat, and cook until lightly browned.
  • When done, remove with a slotted spoon and add it to the mixing bowl.
  • Reserve drippings for basting later.
  • Add remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and combine gently.
  • If you're going to stuff a turkey, cool completely in the refrigerator first.
  • To cook it as a separate dressing, spoon the mixture into a large casserole (13 x 9 or slightly larger), cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30- 45 minutes at 325, basting occasionally with cooking juices from the turkey or with reserved sausage fat, if needed.
  • Uncover the pan for the last 10 minutes of cooking to brown.
  • Serve hot or warm.
  • Note: You may need to use additional broth (approximately one 14 ounce can) as necessary to adjust the moistness of the stuffing to your taste, or if there are insufficient drippings from your poultry.
  • Note: To make these as individual stuffing muffins, add one egg to the mix before baking to help the muffins keep their shape.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your stuffing. Use fresh sage and apples, and choose a good-quality cornbread.
  • Don't overcook the stuffing. It should be cooked through, but not dry. If you're not sure if it's done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the stuffing is done.
  • Season the stuffing to taste. You may want to add more sage, salt, or pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder.
  • Let the stuffing cool slightly before serving. This will help it to hold its shape and make it easier to serve.

Conclusion:

Apple-sage cornbread stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover cornbread, and it is always a hit with guests. With these simple tips, you can make the best apple-sage cornbread stuffing that will be the star of your Thanksgiving table.
