CARAMELIZED ONION SKILLET CORN BREAD
As part of GMA's $15 Dinner Dare series, each day an anchor unveiled a list of secret ingredients, then a chef had to prepare a tempting family meal live on the air with the newly unveiled ingredients. Emeril Lagasse was the second chef to take on the challenge. His list of surprise ingredients included only vegetables: black beans, pinto beans and spinach, so he contrived this side dish from the GMA pantry. I've never known anyone who could instantly caramelize onions, so this method was a huge surprise. Now, if you'd rather be more traditional, you can always caramelize onions (cut in 1/2 inch pieces) in the skillet over medium heat using a couple of tablespoons of butter and a little oil, sauteing until they turn brown and caramelize, then melt the remaining butter in the skillet (add sugar here if you like sweet cornbread) and continue with the recipe as written. Prep time includes time to heat the skillet.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Melt butter in an 8" cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pour all but 2 tablespoons butter into a small bowl; set aside.
- Add onion to butter in skillet; season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add apples, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 teaspoons thyme and cook, stirring often, until apples are softened, about 4 minutes. Transfer onion mixture to a medium bowl and reserve skillet.
- Whisk cornmeal, flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and remaining 3 tablespoonss sugar in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in eggs, buttermilk, and 3/4 cup reserved melted butter until smooth (no lumps should remain). Fold in half of onion mixture and scrape batter into reserved skillet. Top with remaining onion mixture and remaining 1 teaspoon thyme.
- Bake cornbread until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 30-40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
- DO AHEAD: Cornbread can be made 6 hours ahead. Reheat before serving, if desired.
Tips:
- Use stale cornbread: Stale cornbread is less likely to crumble when mixed with other ingredients, resulting in a more cohesive dressing.
- Caramelize the onions slowly: Caramelizing the onions slowly over low heat brings out their natural sweetness and adds a depth of flavor to the dressing.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will add a lot of flavor to the dressing, so choose one that you like the taste of. A good option is a chicken broth made with roasted chicken bones.
- Don't overcook the dressing: The dressing should be cooked until it is just heated through. Overcooking will make it dry and crumbly.
- Serve the dressing warm: Caramelized onion and cornbread dressing is best served warm, so make sure to reheat it before serving if you are making it ahead of time.
Conclusion:
Caramelized onion and cornbread dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion.
