Sunny's Cheesy Bacon Cornbread Dressing image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 to 6 cups gently crumbled cornbread
1 cup shredded Cheddar Jack cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella (get the kind with cream cheese in it for extra credit)
1/2 cup loosely packed chopped fresh parsley
2 chopped scallions, white and green parts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 strips bacon
10 leaves fresh sage, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped, leaves included if present
1/2 cup chopped red onion
3 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray (butter flavor for extra credit), for the baking dish

Steps:

  • For the cornbread: In a large bowl, add the cornbread and toss with the Cheddar Jack, mozzarella, parsley and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the dressing: In a large pan, add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove, leaving the fat behind, and chop. Add the chopped bacon to the bowl of cornbread. Add the sage, celery, onions and garlic to the pan and saute until everything is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add everything, including the fat from the pan, to the cornbread and toss.
  • For the liquid: In a separate large bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, stock and Worcestershire sauce. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Slowly mix into the cornbread until the mixture is moist enough to spread but not wet enough to drip--you may not use all the liquid. Taste and season again with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Add the dressing to the prepared baking dish, gently pressing down to even the top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover, raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F, and bake until the top is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Serve warm.

SCALLION-CHEDDAR CORNBREAD STUFFING



Scallion-Cheddar Cornbread Stuffing image

This stuffing - or, you can call it a dressing - is baked outside the turkey so that it develops a crisp topping. You'll want to make sure your cornbread is stale here: If working with fresh cornbread, dry it out in your oven. Crumble the pieces, then spread them on a rimmed sheet pan and bake at 300 degrees until firm and dry, but not hard. Timing will depend on how moist the cornbread was to start, so be sure to keep an eye on it.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     stuffing and dressing, side dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
1 bunch scallions
1 celery rib, including leaves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
6 cups stale cornbread, crumbled into large chunks
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage or rosemary
Pinch of ground cayenne (optional)
1 1/2 cups turkey or chicken stock, plus more as needed
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees if you are planning to bake the stuffing right away (otherwise don't heat it yet). Butter a shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish or an 8-inch pan (square or round will work).
  • Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white and light green parts from the dark green parts. Save the dark green parts for later.
  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter (save the remaining 2 tablespoons butter for the topping). When the white butter foam has mostly disappeared, add white and light-green scallion slices, celery and the pinch of salt. Cook vegetables, stirring them often, until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the pepper. (If you're grinding it from a pepper mill, you don't have to measure it. Just turn the mill 10 times over the pan.) Move the skillet to an unlit burner on your stove and let the mixture cool.
  • Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk them together until well mixed. Add cooled celery mixture, dark green scallion parts, cornbread, sage or rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and cayenne, if using. Stir in the 1 1/2 cups stock, adding more as needed to moisten all the cornbread. You want it moist but not mushy. (Stop before it looks like oatmeal.) Fold in 1/2 cup Cheddar, the Parmesan and parsley.
  • Spoon the stuffing into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar. Cut the butter into 1/2-inch cubes and scatter those over the top of the stuffing. (At this point, you can wrap the cornbread with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight.)
  • When ready to bake, if you haven't heated the oven, do so now. Bake stuffing until crisp and browned on top, about 25 to 35 minutes. (It will take longer if you're baking it straight from the fridge.) Serve hot or warm.

CORNBREAD DRESSING



Cornbread Dressing image

This crisp, rich and buttery dressing is excellent as a side dish for dinner on Thanksgiving and as leftovers the next day. Aromatics and a mix of fresh and dried herbs give it a deep savoriness. The sausage brings a flavor of its own, but you can leave it out for a vegetarian-friendly alternative. The accompanying cornbread recipe yields a result firm enough to soak up the stock and buttermilk without it turning to a pudding, but you can also use store-bought cornbread or a boxed mix. If you do, just crumble the baked cornbread and spread it out on a sheet pan in an even layer to dry for at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours before mixing it with the rest of the dressing ingredients.

Categories     stuffing and dressing, side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola, plus more if needed
1 pound loose pork sausage
1 large yellow onion, very finely chopped (2 cups)
4 celery ribs, very finely chopped (2 cups)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage (from 10 large leaves)
Salt and pepper
1 recipe cornbread for dressing, broken into 1-inch pieces, or 10 cups loosely packed cornbread
1 1/2 cups chicken, turkey or vegetable stock
1 cup buttermilk, preferably full-fat

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium and pour in the oil. Add the sausage and cook, using a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces, until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate, keeping any fat in the skillet. Add a few additional tablespoons oil if needed to evenly coat the bottom.
  • Add the onion and celery to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, oregano, fennel seeds and sage, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, add the cornbread pieces and toss to combine. Pour in the stock and buttermilk, and stir until well mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Transfer the cornbread mixture to your prepared dish and spread evenly. Drizzle the melted butter over the top. Cover the dish with foil and bake until heated through, 30 to 35 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees, remove the foil and bake until the surface is golden brown in spots, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving warm.

RICH CORNBREAD DRESSING



Rich Cornbread Dressing image

This luxurious Thanksgiving dressing is almost a bread pudding, with cornbread, eggs, celery, onion, a pint of oysters and lots of butter and heavy cream. If the oysters prove to be too controversial for your family, simply leave them out.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     casseroles, stuffing and dressing, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 1/2 ounces butter (13 tablespoons)
6 cups crumbled cornbread
6 cups torn crusty white bread, such as a baguette
2 cups chopped onion
2 cups chopped celery
1/2 to 1 teaspoon dried sage (optional)
2 teaspoons salt
Black pepper
6 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 cups turkey or chicken broth
2 dozen shucked small oysters, with their liquid (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees, and butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Melt remaining butter. In a large bowl, combine cornbread, white bread, onion, celery, sage, salt and pepper to taste. Toss until well mixed. Add melted butter, eggs, cream and 1 1/2 cups broth. Toss in oysters, if using. Mix lightly but well; mixture should be very moist.
  • Turn mixture into prepared dish. If mixture seems dry around edges, drizzle on remaining broth. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, until firm and browned on top.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the final dish. Look for fresh cornbread, sharp blue cheese, and flavorful herbs.
  • Don't overcook the cornbread. Overcooked cornbread will be dry and crumbly. Bake it just until it is set in the center.
  • Let the cornbread cool before crumbling it. This will help to prevent the dressing from becoming too mushy.
  • Use a light hand when adding the blue cheese. A little bit goes a long way, so don't overdo it.
  • Season the dressing to taste. Add additional salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
  • Bake the dressing until it is golden brown and heated through. This will take about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese cornbread dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other special occasion. This dressing is made with crumbled cornbread, blue cheese, celery, onion, and herbs. It is then baked until golden brown and heated through. The result is a flavorful and moist dressing that will be enjoyed by all.
