CHESTNUT, ONION AND CORNBREAD STUFFING
If I could choose anything I wanted to do, it would be to have a chestnut farm. This is an absolutely awesome recipe -- and every time I make it, the bowl is picked half empty by everyone before I even get it into the oven. I posted my cornbread recipe "Perfect Cornbread" #96862, specifically for inclusion in this recipe. This was originally posted in Gourmet Magazine. It is not a quick recipe, but it is not difficult to make and is WELL worth the effort! Preparation time does not include making the cornbread recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F Prepare cornbread ahead of time from Perfect Cornbread Recipe#96862, or your own.
- Cut cornbread into 1/2" cubes.
- In 2 large shallow baking pans, bake in the middle of the oven until just dry, about 20 minutes.
- Using only white and pale green parts of the leeks, halve them lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2" thick pieces.
- In a large heavy skillet cook red onions, shallots, leeks, celery and herbs with salt and pepper to taste, in butter over moderate heat; stirring, until onion mixture is golden brown and softened-- about 25 minutes.
- If using canned chestnuts, rinse and drain.
- In a saucepan simmer vacuum-packed or canned chestnuts in 2 cups of chicken broth for 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, toss together bread, onions, chestnut mixture and remaining 1 1/2 cups of broth, with salt and pepper to taste, and let cool completely.
- (Stuffing may be made ahead up to 1 day before and chilled, covered-- bring stuffing to room temperature before proceeding).
- To cook all or part of stuffing outside of poultry: In a shallow baking dish bake stuffing in preheated 325F oven 45 minutes.
- For moist stuffing, bake covered entire time; for less moist stuffing with a slightly crisp top, uncover halfway through baking time.
- Enjoy!

SMOKED BACON & ONION SWEET CORNBREAD
This cornbread is done in true southern style. I'll take it even further and say Texas Style! You cook the cornbread in the same cast iron skillet that you cooked the bacon, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet. Then you cook it and serve it in the same cast iron skillet. What a delicious crust this makes!

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, salt and sugar. Sift together until thoroughly mixed.
- In a 12 inch cast iron skillet, fry up your 4 strips of thick cut bacon. Chop them up into small pieces and put them into separate mixing bowl.
- Chop the green onions and add them to the mixing bowl with the bacon. Now add in the milk, eggs and 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
- Now pour the wet ingredients into the larger mixing bowl with the dry ingredients and thoroughly mix these together. Set the batter aside.
- Get your smoker going. You'll want to get this hotter than you usually do. We'll need it up to about 375. Put your cast iron skillet in right away, so it's good and hot when you pour the batter inches I used apple wood for this cornbread, but you can use what ever wood you prefer.
- Note: Remove the water pan to allow more heat. I also had to open the side door on my Webber Smoky Mountain vertical smoker a couple of times to get it hot enough. It would start dropping back down towards 350, then I would open the door again for about 1 minute to get it moving back up.
- Once it's up to temperature, pour the batter into the skillet, close it up, and maintain this temperature as best as possible. (If you have an electric smoker, this shouldn't be any problem!).
- This should take about a half hour to cook. Stick a toothpick into the center of the cornbread. If it comes out clean, it's done. Another indicator of it being done is that the sides should start pulling away from the pan.
- Take it off and serve it up in the skillet. It will stay nice and warm sitting in the skillet!

Tips:
- Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal has a sweeter, more flavorful taste than old cornmeal. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can substitute all-purpose flour.
- Use a cast iron skillet. Cast iron skillets distribute heat evenly, resulting in a crispy crust and a moist interior.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough.
- Let the cornbread cool before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cornbread to set.
Conclusion:
Onion cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it sweet or savory, moist or crispy, there's an onion cornbread recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give onion cornbread a try.
