Cornbread Stuffing
Stuffing with dried fruit and nuts or unmentionable parts
of the bird are all fine, but I find that a good old basic cornbread
stuffing with ingredients I would eat, say, on sight, is more comforting.
Yes, I'll still eat my mom's stuffing with who knows what in it, but only
once a year. This stuffing, I've already had three or four times and
it isn't even Thanksgiving yet. Sausage and mushrooms provide the
flavor, and cornbread adds the moisture. It's so good, it doesn't even
need gravy.

Bake some cornbread. I like
the Quaker recipe on the corn meal canister. Any recipe will work as
long as it isn't too sweet. |
Saute the sausage, then finely chop
with a knife. Saute the mushrooms and garlic in butter and a little oil,
using the same pan. |
Chop onion and cooked mushrooms.
Note: red onions work well too, but they need to be sauted with
the mushrooms. |

1/2 lb. sausage
square pan of cornbread,
prepared
6
oz. of bread stuffing
4 cloves garlic
4 green onions, chopped
8 oz. pkg mushrooms
1/2 t salt
1/4t pepper
1t poultry seasoning
2 eggs
1 c chicken broth or stock
splash whipping cream |
|
|
|
|
Combine everything in a large bowl and stir until the cornbread is
incorporated. |
Whip the eggs and combine with the chicken stock. Add the liquids to
the bowl and combine. |
Add a splash of whipping cream. Adjust liquids as needed at this
point. Different brands will absorb liquid differently, so if it seems
dry, add a bit more broth. |

Transfer to a
rectangular baking dish. |
Bake at 350 for 30
minutes (uncovered). |
