CREOLE CORNBREAD STUFFING (EMERIL'S)
Saw this on Good Morning America. I decided immediately it had to be a last minute addition to our Thanksgiving menu. My 22 year old son was thrilled to have it assigned to him ("instead of a sissy salad"). He breezed through making it and we all thought it was so good it had to have a permanent place on our Thanksgiving menu. Highly recommended (although it may be a tad spicy for some -- if you are timid about spices, go easy on them).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F Grease a 10x15-inch baking dish or two 9-inch square baking dishes with the butter.
- Combine the chicken stock, cream, milk, eggs and 1 tablespoons Essence in a large bowl and whisk to blend. Add the dried cornbread and stir to mix, breaking up the pieces with a wooden spoon. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or medium pot over high heat. Add the andouille and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the vegetable oil and reduce the heat to medium high. Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, remaining 2 teaspoons Essence, the salt, black pepper, and cayenne; stir to mix.
- Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until very soft and golden, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and add to the cornbread mixture. Stir to mix well.
- Pour into the prepared baking dish(es) and bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- If you don't have any self-rising cornmeal, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of baking powder to 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this will make the dressing tough.
- Bake the dressing until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the dressing cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
Creole cornbread dressing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is also a great way to use up leftover cornbread. With its unique blend of flavors and textures, this dressing is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
