Provided by The Hungry Hutch

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks celery, diced (about 1 cup)
1 small yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
1 small green bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 recipe day-old cornbread, crumbled
2 cups unsalted chicken stock, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
  • Put the butter and oil to a sauté pan over medium heat; add the celery, onion, bell pepper, salt, and pepper to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sage and continue to cook until the vegetables have softened and start to become translucent, 5 to 7 minutes more.
  • Add the vegetable mixture, cornbread, and chicken stock to a bowl and mix it together. Add more stock, if necessary, so that it's not quite all absorbed by the bread. (I used 2 1/2 cups total.) Taste and adjust seasoning as you see fit.
  • Transfer the dressing mixture to a casserole dish and bake for 30 minutes until nice and golden on top. Serve.

CATHERINE'S CORNBREAD DRESSING



Catherine's Cornbread Dressing image

I've tried on quite a few occasions to "gussy up" my family's cornbread dressing recipe. All of the attempts have ended with subpar results and little to no fanfare, so I keep coming back to the classic. Of course the secret to this rich Southern side dish is the butter. But is that really a secret? This version yields an amazingly moist dressing just begging to be drenched in bourbon gravy.

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups finely chopped celery
2 cups finely chopped onion (about 2 medium-sized onions)
5 cups day-old crumbled cornbread, recipe follows
2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix, such as Pepperidge Farm
1/4 cup minced fresh sage
4 cups turkey or chicken stock, plus more as needed (preferably homemade)
4 eggs, lightly beaten
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the celery and onion until soft and translucent, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, add the celery, onion, cornbread, stuffing mix, and sage. Stir in the chicken stock and eggs and mix until completely combined. Season with a few grinds of black pepper. The mixture should be fairly soupy. Pour into a lightly greased 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Bake, uncovered, until the dressing is set and golden brown, 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Grease a large cast-iron skillet and place in the oven to heat while mixing the batter.
  • In a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and a few generous grinds of black pepper.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter together until combined. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (it's okay if it's a little lumpy). Pour the batter into the hot cast-iron skillet and bake until the top is golden brown, about 25 minutes.
  • Immediately remove the cornbread from the skillet and allow to cool. The cornbread can be made up to 2 days in advance when using for the dressing. Store until needed, then crumble and follow instructions for the dressing.
  • If enjoying the cornbread immediately (not for the dressing recipe), remove the cornbread from the oven, invert it onto a large plate, and then flip it once more so it is right side up. Slice into wedges and serve warm with lots of butter.
