SUNNY'S CHEESY BACON CORNBREAD DRESSING

Steps:

• For the cornbread: In a large bowl, add the cornbread and toss with the Cheddar Jack, mozzarella, parsley and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the dressing: In a large pan, add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove, leaving the fat behind, and chop. Add the chopped bacon to the bowl of cornbread. Add the sage, celery, onions and garlic to the pan and saute until everything is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add everything, including the fat from the pan, to the cornbread and toss.
• For the liquid: In a separate large bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, stock and Worcestershire sauce. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Slowly mix into the cornbread until the mixture is moist enough to spread but not wet enough to drip--you may not use all the liquid. Taste and season again with salt and pepper if needed.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Add the dressing to the prepared baking dish, gently pressing down to even the top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover, raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F, and bake until the top is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Serve warm.

Add the cornbread croutons, seasoned croutons, thyme, rosemary, sage and cayenne if using. Add the chicken stock and stir to combine. Taste and add salt and pepper, then stir in the eggs.

• Add 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil to a 6-inch cast-iron skillet. Put the skillet in the oven and allow to heat until very hot, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl with a whisk. In a different bowl, combine the almond milk, applesauce, sorghum, egg and 2 tablespoons coconut oil. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Fold to combine.
• Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and pour in the batter. Return the skillet to the oven and bake until golden with a crisp crust, 25 minutes. Let cool before cutting the cornbread into 1-inch pieces (about 8 cups).
• Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease a baking sheet with some coconut oil and spread the cornbread in a single layer. Be careful, the cornbread is fragile and you don¿t want to be rough with it. Drizzle lightly with the remaining 2 tablespoons coconut oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crunchy, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet before using.

JULIE'S CORNBREAD DRESSING OR STUFFING

Steps:

• DAY BEFORE OR EARLY IN THE DAY.
• Make cornbread.
• Pinch up other bread into 1/2" pieces and toast in oven until dry but not brown or hard. I use a large cookie sheet at 200 degrees for 1 hours.
• Dice celery and onion and keep refrigerated.
• 2 1/2 HOURS BEFORE SERVING.
• Crumble cornbread by hand into the bowl with the bread.
• Add the eggs, sage, salt and pepper.
• Add 2 cups of turkey broth.
• Add the cream.
• Add additional chicken broth, until you reach the right consistency. Be careful not to add too much as the dressing will not set. (You want enough liquid so that the bread will soak it up and still be just slightly soupy.).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (If using the same oven as the turkey, plan to cook longer to accommodate the lower oven temperature.).
• If not using a disposable pan, spray pan with Pam AND line it with heavy duty aluminum foil or regular aluminum foil, doubled. Spray the foil as well.
• 1 1/4 HOUR BEFORE SERVING.
• Place dressing in the oven.
• Check on it starting at 45 minutes. Depending on the size of your pan (the depth of the dressing), it will take anywhere from 45 minutes up to 1 1/4 hour to get done.
• Serve and enjoy!
