Creole Cornbread Stuffing (Emeril's) image

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).

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

12 cups baked basic cornbread (we like the recipe from the Alber's Cornbread box, broken into 1-inch pieces, we recommend baking th)
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 cups chicken stock (canned or fresh)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon Emeril's Original Essence, plus
1 teaspoon Emeril's Original Essence (divided)
1 lb andouille sausage, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces (or other smoked sausage)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups chopped yellow onions
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped green bell peppers
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

I'm not a huge fan of stuffing, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so delicious and flavorful, and it's not too dry or dense.
