Cornbread And Sausage Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with butter.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the buttermilk, whole milk, oil, Dijon mustard and egg until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. The cornbread can be made up to 1 day in advance. Wrap tightly in several layers of plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
• For the stuffing: Crumble enough of the cornbread into large pieces to make 4 cups. Reserve the remaining cornbread for another use.
• Add the sausage to a large skillet over medium heat and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until the fat starts to render, about 8 minutes. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, fennel seed and celery salt and season with salt and pepper. Once the meat starts to brown and crisp, add the onion, carrot, celery, chestnuts, fennel, garlic and sage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned, the carrots become soft and tender and the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Add the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring the wine to a boil and cook until mostly evaporated, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock and Dijon mustard and bring to a simmer. Fold in the cornbread until completely incorporated and the bread is moist and heated through, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the stuffing to a serving bowl and garnish with the parsley.

Steps:

• Brown the sausage meat in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking meat up into small pieces as it cooks.
• Drain cooked sausage (I drain it in a colander and then run hot water over the meat to remove as much fat as possible) and remove meat to a large bowl.
• Add the butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat.
• Add onions and celery to skillet and cook, covered, until onions and celery are cooked through, stirring occasionally.
• Combine cooked vegetables, sausage,parsley,stuffing mix,and spices in the large bowl, stir in the beaten eggs and chicken broth and mix well.
• Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray and fill with dressing mixture.
• Cover and bake for one hour in a preheated 350 degree oven.
• Remove cover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, to lightly brown top of dressing.
• A cake tester or knife inserted should come out"clean" when the dressing is done.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, add the onions and celery and saute over to medium heat. Season with salt and cook until the vegetables start to become soft and are very aromatic. Add the sausage and cook until the sausage begins to brown. Stir in the garlic and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the walnuts, sage and rosemary and cook for another minute, then remove from heat.
• In a large bowl mix together the cornbread, cranberries, and the sausage mixture. Add chicken stock and knead with your hands until the bread is very moist, actually wet. Taste to check for seasoning and season with salt, if needed and transfer to an ovenproof dish.
• Bake the stuffing until it is hot all the way through and is crusty on top, about 30 to 35 minutes. MMMMM...stuffing!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in 12-inch skillet.
• Cook sausage for 5 to 7 minutes until browned. Add onions and celery and saute until softened. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Mix in apples, thyme and sage and saute for another 2 minutes. Add bourbon. Allow to simmer until bourbon is almost evaporated; 1 to 2 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add cornbread stuffing, parsley, chicken stock, eggs and pecans. Mix well. Mix in vegetable mixture to bowl. Combine and stir well together. Add to a large casserole dish and bake for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Spread the cornbread and French bread cubes out onto sheet pans. Let them dry out for several hours and up to overnight. You want them to be crisp/stale.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble the sausage into the skillet and brown until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the sausage into a large bowl and drain half the grease. Lower the temperature under the skillet to medium. Melt the butter, then add the celery, rosemary, carrots and onions. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, thyme, sage and turmeric and bring to a boil.
• Add the bread to the bowl with the sausage and toss to combine. Gradually ladle the broth mixture into the bread and sausage mixture, tossing lightly as you go, until completely combined. Taste and season with salt. If the mixture needs more moisture, you can add more stock as desired. Stir in the parsley and transfer to a baking dish. Bake until golden on top, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, using a wooden spoon to break it up, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a medium bowl, leaving the sausage fat in the skillet. Add the mushrooms, celery and onions to the skillet and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the sage and cook 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat. Place the cubed cornbread in a large bowl and add the sauteed vegetables and sausage and stir to combine. Set to the side and let cool slightly. Whisk the chicken broth, milk, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Pour over the cornbread mixture and gently stir to coat. (If not baking right away, refrigerate until ready to bake.)
