CORNBREAD DRESSING WITH SAUSAGES, APPLES AND MUSHROOMS



Cornbread Dressing with Sausages, Apples and Mushrooms image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 9h25m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 cups 1-inch cubed cornbread
4 cups 1-inch cubed French bread
4 cups 1-inch cubed artisan/crusty bread such as ciabatta
2 pounds white button or cremini mushrooms
4 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
1 pound Italian sausage
1 onion, large dice
5 Granny Smith apples, large dice
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup white wine
32 ounces, low sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric, plus more
Black pepper
Fresh parsley, minced

Steps:

  • Allow the cornbread, French bread and crusty bread to sit out on cookie sheets for several hours or overnight, until completely dried out.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Wash the mushrooms thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Toss in a bowl with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Mushrooms will be very coated, but that's good! Divide the mushrooms between two sheet pans and roast in the upper half of the oven for at least 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through roasting. Remove from the oven when the mushrooms are deep brown. Set aside.
  • Turn the oven down to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large skillet, crumble and the brown sausage over medium-high heat. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside. Pour off any excess grease, and without cleaning the skillet, add in the onions and brown for 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high and add the diced apples, brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until deep golden brown.
  • Decrease the heat to medium and pour in the wine (be careful if you're using an open flame). Stir and cook to reduce the liquid by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the apple/onion mixture into a bowl and set aside.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat (again, without washing) and add the chicken broth, rosemary, sage, thyme, turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Heat for a few minutes, then set aside.
  • Add the bread to a large bowl, then add the browned sausage, mushrooms and apple/onion mixture (and any juice that might have accumulated). Next, add the broth mixture gradually as you toss the ingredients, being prepared not to use all of the liquid according to your taste.
  • Check the seasonings at the end and add in minced parsley. Pour into a large baking dish (I used an iron skillet) and bake until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes. (Or you can stuff the turkey if you're into that kind of thing.)
  • Delicious!

SAUSAGE-AND-CORNBREAD DRESSING



Sausage-And-Cornbread Dressing image

I'm posting this recipe at my son, James', request. He said that he could eat this three times a day! I think the original recipe was from " Southern Living" magazine, many years ago, but I've modified it to suit our tastes.. This recipe can be made a day in advance, refrigerated until it's time to be heated ( allow for additional cooking time ), and doubles well.This has been a staple at our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for many years years.

Categories     Breads

Time 1h50m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb mild bulk pork sausage (I usually use "original recipe" Owen's or Jimmy Dean's sausage)
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups diced onions (about 2 large)
2 cups diced celery (include some leaves from the inner celery stalks)
1/2 bunch parsley, leaves chopped (about 1 c.)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (16 ounce) package plain cornbread stuffing mix (I use the bagged Pepperidge Farms brand)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
salt and pepper

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.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Sauté them over medium heat until they're just starting to soften.

  • Moisten the dressing. The dressing should be moist, but not soggy. Add chicken broth or vegetable broth until the dressing reaches the desired consistency.
  • Season the dressing to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other spices you like. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as rosemary or thyme.
