SUNNY'S CHEESY BACON CORNBREAD DRESSING



Sunny's Cheesy Bacon Cornbread Dressing image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 to 6 cups gently crumbled cornbread
1 cup shredded Cheddar Jack cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella (get the kind with cream cheese in it for extra credit)
1/2 cup loosely packed chopped fresh parsley
2 chopped scallions, white and green parts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 strips bacon
10 leaves fresh sage, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped, leaves included if present
1/2 cup chopped red onion
3 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray (butter flavor for extra credit), for the baking dish

Steps:

  • For the cornbread: In a large bowl, add the cornbread and toss with the Cheddar Jack, mozzarella, parsley and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the dressing: In a large pan, add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove, leaving the fat behind, and chop. Add the chopped bacon to the bowl of cornbread. Add the sage, celery, onions and garlic to the pan and saute until everything is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add everything, including the fat from the pan, to the cornbread and toss.
  • For the liquid: In a separate large bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, stock and Worcestershire sauce. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Slowly mix into the cornbread until the mixture is moist enough to spread but not wet enough to drip--you may not use all the liquid. Taste and season again with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Add the dressing to the prepared baking dish, gently pressing down to even the top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover, raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F, and bake until the top is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Serve warm.

  • For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch cast-iron skillet or an 8-inch square baking pan.
  • Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Combine the milk, honey, vanilla, eggs and butter in another mixing bowl and whisk to thoroughly combine. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well.

½ cup corn kernel
¼ cup honey
2 large eggs
1 box cornbread mix, optional if you do not want to do Tia's cornbread, prepared according to box instructions, and cut into cubes.
4 cups white bread, we used an Italian loaf, cubed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 stalks celery, diced
½ head fennel head, diced
salt, to taste
2 green apples, peeled and diced
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 lb Italian sausage, casing removed
¼ cup fresh parsley, minced
2 tablespoons fresh sage
3 cups chicken broth, or chicken stock

Steps:

  • First, make Tia's Cornbread at least one day before serving the stuffing.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously grease a 9-inch (23 cm) baking pan with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, corn, honey and eggs. Using a rubber spatula, add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool for at least 1 hour, then cut into 1-inch cubes for the stuffing.
  • For the stuffing, start by cutting the cornbread into cubes.
  • Spread 4 cups of white bread cubes and 4 cups of the cornbread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and leave out overnight to dry out.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 13x9x2-inch (33x23x2 cm) baking dish with butter and set aside.
  • Transfer the bread cubes to a large bowl.
  • In a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the onion, garlic, celery, fennel and sprinkle with the salt and cook until the vegetables are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the mixture to the bowl of bread and mix.
  • In the same sauté pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and let brown for 30 seconds. Add the apples and nutmeg and sauté until the apples are tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the apples to the bread bowl and mix.
  • Add the sausage to the pan and cook, breaking it up as it browns, 8 to 10 minutes.

Tips for Making Blue Cheese Cornbread Dressing/Stuffing:

  • Use a variety of cornbread. This will give your dressing a more complex flavor and texture. You can use a combination of white and yellow cornbread, or even add in some Jiffy cornbread mix for a sweeter flavor.
  • Don't overcook the cornbread. It should be slightly moist, but not mushy. If you overcook it, the dressing will be dry and crumbly.
  • Use a good quality blue cheese. This is the star of the show, so don't skimp on the quality. Look for a blue cheese that is creamy and flavorful, with a strong but not overpowering taste.
  • Don't be afraid to add other ingredients. This is a great opportunity to use up leftover vegetables, herbs, and spices. Some popular additions include celery, onion, garlic, parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Make sure the dressing is moist. This is especially important if you are using it as stuffing. If the dressing is too dry, it will be difficult to stuff into the turkey or chicken.
  • Bake the dressing until it is golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that it is cooked through and has a nice crispy crust.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese cornbread dressing/stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are serving it as a side dish or using it to stuff a turkey or chicken, this dressing is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a new dressing recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
