Sausage And Corn Bread Stuffing Crockpot Food

CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Bake the cornbread (do this up to 2 days in advance): Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, with a baking rack on the middle level. Coat an 8×8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Melt the butter and let come to room temperature.
• In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, stir together the milk and vinegar. Allow it to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the milk has curdled slightly (you can also swap the milk for buttermilk, omit the vinegar, and skip this step). Stir in the honey, eggs, and melted butter.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the wet ingredients and fold gently to combine.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, until the cornbread is light and golden brown, with a deeper golden brown at the edges. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean. Set aside to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
• Once the cornbread is cool, cut it into 1-inch cubes (since the pan of cornbread is thicker than 1 inch, I cut mine into 1-inch cubes from the top, then turn each "row" of cubes on its side and then cut it in half again through the middle). Spread in a single layer on an ungreased or parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. The cubes can touch, but don't overlap them (if your pan is too small, divide them onto two pans). Toast in the oven for 15 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
• Make the stuffing: Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. In a very large bowl, whisk together the eggs and chicken broth.
• In a large skillet on the stove, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, salt, and pepper. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds, until fragrant.
• Add the sausage to the skillet (if it's in its casing, you can squeeze them into the skillet directly). Cook, breaking up the meat into crumbles. Add the apple.
• Continue cooking until the sausage is cooked through almost completely, about 4 minutes more, then stir in the cranberries, sage, thyme, and parsley.
• Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool a few minutes. Pour into the bowl with the broth and eggs, along with any cooking juices.
• To the bowl, add the toasted cornbread cubes. With your largest spoon, stir very gently to combine the ingredients. Continue stirring and folding, until everything is evenly moistened.
• Spoon into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until toasted on top and the center is moist but not overly damp. Serve warm.

CROCKPOT CORNBREAD & SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Make the cornbread ahead of time, and allow it to sit out (uncovered) for at least 24 hours. It's going to get a little stale, but don't worry that's the point.
• Cook the sausage in a large skillet, crumbling as it cooks until cooked through. Set aside.
• Run a knife around the edges of the cornbread to release it from the baking dish, and cut it into roughly 1- 1 1/2" cubes. Transfer the cut cornbread into the bowl of your crockpot.
• Add all of the remaining ingredients to the crockpot, and gently stir just to combine without breaking up
• Cook the stuffing mixture on high for 2 hours, fluffing gently with a fork before serving.

CORNBREAD AND SAUSAGE DRESSING

Steps:

• Spread the cornbread and French bread cubes out onto sheet pans. Let them dry out for several hours and up to overnight. You want them to be crisp/stale.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble the sausage into the skillet and brown until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the sausage into a large bowl and drain half the grease. Lower the temperature under the skillet to medium. Melt the butter, then add the celery, rosemary, carrots and onions. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, thyme, sage and turmeric and bring to a boil.
• Add the bread to the bowl with the sausage and toss to combine. Gradually ladle the broth mixture into the bread and sausage mixture, tossing lightly as you go, until completely combined. Taste and season with salt. If the mixture needs more moisture, you can add more stock as desired. Stir in the parsley and transfer to a baking dish. Bake until golden on top, 20 to 25 minutes.

SAUSAGE CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, add the onions and celery and saute over to medium heat. Season with salt and cook until the vegetables start to become soft and are very aromatic. Add the sausage and cook until the sausage begins to brown. Stir in the garlic and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the walnuts, sage and rosemary and cook for another minute, then remove from heat.
• In a large bowl mix together the cornbread, cranberries, and the sausage mixture. Add chicken stock and knead with your hands until the bread is very moist, actually wet. Taste to check for seasoning and season with salt, if needed and transfer to an ovenproof dish.
• Bake the stuffing until it is hot all the way through and is crusty on top, about 30 to 35 minutes. MMMMM...stuffing!

SLOW-COOKER SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 6-quart slow cooker with butter.
• Toss the stale French bread, butter, onions, carrots, celery, thyme and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in the slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth over the bread mixture and toss to coat. Use your hands to tear teaspoon-size pieces of the Italian sausage and put them directly on top of the bread mixture. The sausage should cover most of the stuffing.
• Cover the slow cooker and cook on low until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 4 hours. Remove the lid and gently stir the sausage into the stuffing. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Transfer to a shallow serving dish and garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve hot.

Stir in the stuffing mix and melted butter, mixing just until the stuffing mix is coated in the broth. Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours or until the stuffing is cooked though. Serve hot.
