SOUTHWESTERN CORNBREAD STUFFING (DRESSING)



Southwestern Cornbread Stuffing (Dressing) image

Over the years I've developed my own version of cornbread dressing. We like it spicey but you can control the 'heat' by omitting the jalapenos. In a pinch I've even made with a small can of diced mild green chiles. This is a very forgiving dish so feel free to experiment . . . add some corn, etc.

SOUTHWESTERN CORNBREAD DRESSING



Southwestern Cornbread Dressing image

I created this recipe several years ago because I was unable to find a cornbread dressing everyone liked. It is very simple and satisfies the cornbread lovers, as well as the southwestern taste buds. I make this entire dish in a stainless steel casserole from start to finish. I also use Hatch, New Mexico green chili which I keep in my freezer. Use fresh or canned, but ENJOY!

SOUTHWESTERN CORNBREAD STUFFING

Categories     casseroles, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped red pepper
1/2 cup minced scallions
2 tablespoons minced fresh hot green chili pepper (canned jalapeno peppers can be substituted)
1 1/2 cups chopped peeled winter squash or pumpkin
5 cups diced dried cornbread
6 tablespoons chicken stock (approximately)
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add onion and pepper and saute over medium heat until these vegetables are tender. Add the scallions, chili pepper and squash. Cook over low heat about 10 minutes, until the squash begins to soften.
  • Stir in the cornbread and add enough stock to moisten the mixture lightly. It should be somewhat crumbly because it will pick up moisture from the squash as it cooks, as well as from the turkey or chicken.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. Use to stuff poultry or bake in a buttered casserole alongside the poultry.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornbread. Making your cornbread from scratch is ideal, but if you're short on time, you can use a store-bought mix. Just be sure to follow the package directions carefully.
  • Don't overstuff the cornbread dressing. Too much dressing can make the cornbread soggy. Aim for about 1 cup of dressing for every 3 cups of cornbread.
  • Bake the cornbread dressing until it's golden brown. This will help to ensure that the dressing is cooked through and has a crispy exterior.
  • Serve the cornbread dressing warm. This is the best way to enjoy the dressing's flavors and textures.

Conclusion:

Southwestern cornbread stuffing (dressing) is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any holiday meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover cornbread. With its bold flavors and hearty texture, this dressing is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
