CORNBREAD AND BACON STUFFING (DRESSING)B



Cornbread and Bacon Stuffing (Dressing)b image

Dressing, stuffing, whatever, this is just good. I modified the instructions slightly, but the recipe came form my Better Homes and Garden Cookbook that's absolutely ancient. See note at bottom on how to make a vegetarian version.

Provided by Deborah1

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups coarsely crumbled cornbread
6 slices stale bread, torn in small bits, please use a good quality bread
6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
2 tablespoons bacon drippings
1 cup diced celery
1 1/2 cups diced onions
2 beaten eggs
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2-2 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Saute the onions and celery in the bacon drippings, until soft but not browned.
  • Let cool slightly.
  • Toss the cornbread, bread, bacon, poultry seasoning, parsley, salt and pepper until mixed well.
  • Add the cooked celery and onions and toss to mix well.
  • Add the eggs and 1 cup of the chicken broth and stir to moisten, adding as much broth as needed.
  • (Everytime is going to be different.) This is a personal taste decision.
  • I like my dressing moist so I add broth until I have a very wet mixture.
  • Any type pan will work for baking.
  • I generally use a 8 x 8 disposable pan, but if I am making a double batch I use a 9 x 13 pan.
  • Bake for 30 min, uncovered, or until golden on top.
  • This is enough to stuff an 8 to 10 lb turkey, if you so desired.
  • **NOTE**I have made this several times for vegetarian dinners, omitting the bacon, drippings and chicken broth and substituting with either butter, or olive oil and vegetable broth with great success.
  • ALSO--If you save leftover pieces of cornbread/bread heels in a ziploc bag in your freezer, you will have half the work already done when your ready to make this.
  • (Just a tip my grandma told me that works.).

SWEET POTATO (QUEEN) CORNBREAD



Sweet Potato (Queen) Cornbread image

This recipe comes straight from "The Sweet Potato Queens' Big-Ass Cookbook. Another one of those things where I'm gonna write down the recipe exactly like it's portrayed in the cookbook.....you have to do the Queen's justice. :)

Provided by crazycookinmama

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 50m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
3 sweet potatoes or 1 (16 ounce) can sweet potatoes
2 eggs
6 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil

Steps:

  • Mom's is the ultimate example of a life well-lived. I am in total awe of her. She's smart, accomplished, beautiful-inside and out-loving, courageous, and bubbling over with the sheer joy of living.
  • It's been an easy fifty years for Dad, clearly. To further endear her to me personally, she and her friends turn out some excellent eats! Mom herself makes this sweet potato cornbread that is worth driving all the way to Mountain Pine, Arkansas, for, but you won't have to-here's how you do it.
  • Mix together this dry stuff: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup sugar.
  • Separetely, mix together this wet stuff: 3 sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed (or you may use 1 16 ounce can of sweet potatoes, and in this recipe, it really is okay not to use home-cooked ones, I would tell you if it mattered), 2 eggs, 6 tablespoons milk, and 3 tablespoons oil.
  • Then mix the dry stuff and the wet stuff, just until it's all moist (don't beat it to death), then put it in greased muffin tins and bake at 425 until done-usually about 15 to 20 minutes.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 large yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
3 large orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
4 cornbread muffins
1 (15 ounce) can canned mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
½ cup butter, softened
1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ cup cream
2 eggs
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
½ (8 ounce) can almond paste
2 cups mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, and cook until potatoes can be pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain, and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat your oven's broiler.
  • Lightly grease 9x13 inch baking dish. Slice corn muffins into 1/2 inch rounds, trimming away tops and bottoms. Reserve trimmed pieces. Arrange corn muffin slices over the bottom of prepared baking dish. Place muffins under preheated broiler until toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • Mix the canned mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, butter, and 1 cup coconut milk together in a bowl until smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining coconut milk, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  • Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Place 1/2 can of almond paste on the wrap, cover with another sheet of plastic wrap, and roll out the almond paste into a thin sheet, about 1/8 inch thick. Use fingers, or patch pieces of almond paste to shape the sheet into the size of baking dish.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Assemble the casserole by pouring the egg mixture over the corn muffins in the prepared baking dish. Cover with the sheet of almond paste, trimming to fit the dish. Alternating colors, place a layer of sweet potatoes over the almond sheet. Spoon or brush 1/3 of the brown sugar mixture over the sweet potatoes. Repeat, arranging two more layers of sweet potatoes, ending with 1/3 of the brown sugar mixture. Set aside any extra sweet potatoes for another use.
  • Bake casserole in preheated oven 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle reserved corn muffin trimmings and marshmallows over the top. Return to oven, and bake until top is browned, about 20 minutes more. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

STEPHANIE L. TYSON'S SWEET POTATO CORNBREAD



Stephanie L. Tyson's Sweet Potato Cornbread image

North Carolina and sweet potatoes go way back. To this day, the state is a national leader in growing the crop. Stephanie L. Tyson, the chef who oversees the kitchen at a Winston-Salem spot called (appropriately) Sweet Potatoes, likes to blend one Southern staple into another. And here, the result is a cornbread laced with a holiday-friendly undercurrent of cinnamon and nutmeg. Ms. Tyson has said that the cornbread just clicks with a side of greens, but we have a feeling it will play well with cranberries and gravy, too.
