Categories     side-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
1 3/4 cups fine yellow cornmeal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 15-ounce can sweet potato puree
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup honey
4 large eggs
Juice of 1 lemon
1 pound bulk sweet Italian sausage
1 red onion, small dice
3 stalks celery, small dice
2 carrots, small dice
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups good quality chicken stock, plus more if needed
1/2 cup apple cider

Steps:

  • For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, put the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and leave in the oven until melted, about 8 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and a generous pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk together the sweet potato puree, milk, honey, eggs and lemon juice in a large bowl. Pour the melted butter into the wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then pour the batter into the cast-iron skillet.
  • Lower the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the cornbread until golden orange and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and spread the cornbread cubes on top. Toast in the oven, flipping halfway through, until browned and crispy along the edges, about 20 minutes. Set aside. (Leave the oven on.)
  • For the dressing: Crumble the sausage into a large skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until browned, about 8 minutes. Remove the sausage crumbles from the pan with a slotted spoon and remove to a large bowl. Add the onion, celery, carrot and thyme to the skillet with the sausage fat, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sweat the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add to the bowl with the sausage, then add the chicken stock, apple cider and cornbread cubes and stir until moist but not mushy. Place in a 9-inch square casserole dish and bake until the top is crusty and golden, about 30 minutes.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     casseroles, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 cups, enough for a 12-pound bird

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil or melted butter, more for greasing baking sheet and dish
About 1 pound corn bread, preferably stale, roughly crumbled
1 medium butternut or other winter squash or small pumpkin, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups fresh cranberries (about 8 ounces)
1 cup pumpkin seeds or coarsely chopped hazelnuts
2 tablespoons fresh minced sage leaves, or 2 teaspoons dried
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 cup cream or half-and-half, warmed, more as needed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. If baking stuffing outside bird, grease a 2-quart casserole, large gratin dish or 9-by-13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  • Grease a rimmed baking sheet with a little olive oil or butter and spread out corn bread. Bake corn bread, tossing occasionally with a spatula, for 20 to 30 minutes, until it's toasted and a little crisp in places. Remove from oven and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine corn bread, squash or pumpkin, cranberries, seeds or nuts, and sage. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir remaining oil or butter and the syrup or honey into cream or half-and-half and drizzle over stuffing mixture, stirring to lightly moisten everything. Do not saturate it, just soften it. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Place stuffing in bird and bake. Or put stuffing in prepared pan, cover tightly with foil and bake until hot, 25 to 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until mixture bubbles and top is browned, another 10 to 15 minutes.

  • Use a variety of spices: Spices will add depth and flavor to your stuffing. Some good choices include sage, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make cornbread stuffing. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors until you find a combination that you love.

Conclusion:

Cornbread stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It's a great way to use up leftover cornbread, and it's also a great way to add extra vegetables to your diet. With a little planning and effort, you can make a cornbread stuffing that will be the star of your next meal.
