Jims Cornbread Stuffing Recipes

CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt butter and sweet vegetables until tender. Add ham and cook over low heat for 2 more minutes. Set aside to slightly cool. Whisk together eggs, stock, cream and herbs and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Combine all items, including cornbread, in a 4-quart lasagna pan and cook covered for 30 minutes. Uncover and cook for additional 20 minutes or until crusty.

CORNBREAD STUFFING WITH HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F; butter a shallow 3-quart baking dish. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mustard greens and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the ham, thyme and sage. Add the broth, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
• Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes and ham-broth mixture and stir until combined. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small cubes and scatter evenly over the stuffing. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden, 20 to 30 more minutes.

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!

CORNBREAD STUFFING RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• First, make Tia's Cornbread at least one day before serving the stuffing.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously grease a 9-inch (23 cm) baking pan with 1 tablespoon of butter.
• In a small bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, corn, honey and eggs. Using a rubber spatula, add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool for at least 1 hour, then cut into 1-inch cubes for the stuffing.
• For the stuffing, start by cutting the cornbread into cubes.
• Spread 4 cups of white bread cubes and 4 cups of the cornbread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and leave out overnight to dry out.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 13x9x2-inch (33x23x2 cm) baking dish with butter and set aside.
• Transfer the bread cubes to a large bowl.
• In a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the onion, garlic, celery, fennel and sprinkle with the salt and cook until the vegetables are translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the mixture to the bowl of bread and mix.
• In the same sauté pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and let brown for 30 seconds. Add the apples and nutmeg and sauté until the apples are tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the apples to the bread bowl and mix.
• Add the sausage to the pan and cook, breaking it up as it browns, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the sausage to the bread bowl and mix.
• Mix in the parsley and sage.
• Transfer the bread mixture to the buttered baking dish.
• Pour the chicken stock around the edges of the baking dish.
• Put the baking dish on the middle oven rack and bake at 400°F (200°C), uncovered for 40 minutes, until golden brown.

SAVORY CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place a 9-inch cast iron skillet, a heavy 2-quart baking dish or a heavy 9-inch square baking pan in the oven while you prepare the batter.
• Place the cornmeal in a bowl, and sift in the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir the mixture with a spoon or whisk to amalgamate. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, yogurt (or buttermilk), milk and honey. Whisk the cornmeal mixture into the liquid mixture. Do not overwork the batter.
• Remove the pan from the oven, and add the butter to the pan. Swirl the pan so that the butter melts quickly before it gets too brown, then quickly whisk the butter into the batter. Brush the sides of the pan with any butter remaining in the pan.
• Quickly scrape all of the batter into the hot pan, and place in the oven. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. It will be quite brown on the edges. Allow the bread to cool in the pan, or serve warm.
• Heat the olive oil (or oil and butter) over medium heat in a large, heavy, nonstick skillet, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about three minutes, and add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the celery. Cook together for another few minutes, until the onion is tender. Add the garlic, and stir together for 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Transfer to a large bowl, and add the remaining ingredients. Combine well. Taste and adjust salt. Moisten as desired with milk.
• Stuff the cavity of the turkey, or transfer to a buttered or oiled 2-quart baking dish. Dot with butter. Cover with aluminum foil, and heat through in a 325-degree oven for 30 minutes.

CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• First, make the cornbread. Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Butter the base of a 25cm ovenproof dish and line with baking parchment. Combine the semolina, flour, baking powder, bicarb and ½ tsp salt in a large bowl. Whisk the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk or yogurt and chillies together in a jug and until combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring until just combined - be careful not to over-mix. Pour the cornbread batter into the pan and bake for 40-50 mins until golden, then cool completely in the tin.
• Turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Fry the bacon in a large frying pan or skillet over a medium heat for 5 mins until it is starting to crisp up and release its fat. Remove to a board, leave to cool slightly, then roughly chop. Tip the onion, garlic and celery into the pan and fry for 8-10 mins until the vegetables are softened and golden. Add a splash of water the mixture starts to catch on the bottom. Stir in the sage.
• Tip the vegetable mixture into a large bowl and leave to cool slightly. Cut the cooled cornbread into 2cm cubes, then add to the bowl of veg along with the chopped bacon. Season and toss to combine. Tip the stuffing mixture into a roughly 20 x 30cm casserole dish. Mix the eggs and vegetable stock together in a jug, then pour this over the stuffing in the dish. Bake for 15-20 mins until the stuffing is golden brown and crisp at the edges.

EASY CORNBREAD-BROWN BUTTER STUFFING

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Cook, undisturbed, until the foam subsides and the butter is a deep brown and smells nutty. Transfer immediately to a heatproof liquid measuring cup or bowl.
• In a large bowl, combine the cornbread, scallions, 3 tablespoons butter, eggs, sage, salt, chili powder and black pepper. If the mixture looks dry, add a little stock or water.
• Spoon the stuffing into a 1 1/2 quart gratin dish. Drizzle the remaining butter over the stuffing. (At this point you can wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight.)
• Heat oven to 350 degrees and bake until crisp and browned on top, about 30 to 45 minutes.
