CORNBREAD AND SAUSAGE STUFFING

Some cooks use diced giblets (heart, gizzard, and liver) in addition to the pork sausage in order to give this cornbread-based stuffing an extra meaty taste. It's the perfect partner for our Roast Turkey with Herb Butter.

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound fresh pork sausage, casings removed, crumbled (plus giblets, diced; optional)
1 large onion, (about 2 cups), finely chopped
3 celery, finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds prepared cornbread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (12 cups)
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large nonstick skillet, cook sausage (and giblets, if using) over medium-high heat, stirring often, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl.
  • To pan, add onion, celery, and 1/4 cup water. Reduce heat to medium; cook, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until vegetables soften, about 10 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add to sausage.
  • Add cornbread, sage, and eggs to sausage and vegetables. Bring broth to a simmer in a small saucepan; pour 1/2 cup over stuffing, and toss gently (cornbread will break down into smaller pieces). If needed, add up to 1/2 cup more broth, until stuffing feels moist, but not wet. Stuff into turkey, using about 4 cups.
  • Spoon remaining stuffing into an 8" baking pan; it should reach the top. Bake until top is golden brown, about 45 minutes.

Andouille sausage and peppercornbread stuffing is a traditional Southern cuisine dish that embodies the essence of comfort food. This dish is not only delicious but also easy to prepare. Its rustic flavor is what sets it apart from other stuffing recipes. If you are planning on making this delicious meal, then this article is for you. We will delve deeper into understanding what andouille sausage and peppercornbread stuffing is, its origin and key ingredients.

What is Andouille Sausage?

Andouille sausage is a spicy, smoked sausage that originated in France, but later found its way to Louisiana, USA. This sausage is made using pork, onions, and seasonings such as garlic, thyme, and cayenne. In Louisiana, Andouille sausage is a staple ingredient in many Cajun and Creole dishes, including gumbo, jambalaya, and stuffing. The spicy and smoky flavor of Andouille sausage adds depth to any dish that it is added to.

Origin of Cornbread

Cornbread is a classic Southern cuisine staple that has been passed down through generations. It is a type of bread made from cornmeal, water or milk, and sometimes sugar, flour, and eggs. It has a crumbly texture and a slightly sweet and savory taste, which makes it the perfect pairing for meats, vegetables, and other comfort foods. Cornbread is often baked in a cast-iron skillet, and it is served on the side or used as a base for stuffing.

What is Peppercorn?

Peppercorn is a pungent, aromatic spice that is obtained from the dried fruit of the Piper nigrum plant. The fruit is picked when it is ripe and dehydrated to make black, white, and green peppercorns. Black peppercorns are the most common and have a strong, sharp flavor. They are perfect for seasoning meats and stews, while white peppercorns have a milder taste and are ideal for cream sauces and soups. Green peppercorns have a fresher, fruitier flavor and are often used in Thai and Indian cuisine.

In this article, we will share some valuable tips that will help you make the perfect andouille sausage and pepper cornbread stuffing recipe that your family and friends will love.

Choosing the Right Sausage

The first and most crucial step in making any sausage stuffing recipe is to choose the right sausage. Andouille sausage is the perfect choice for this recipe as it is a smoked sausage that adds robust flavor and spice to your dish. However, you must ensure that you choose high-quality andouille sausage that is made with good quality meat and spices. Always check the package for the ingredient list and avoid sausages that contain high amounts of artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives. If you can’t find andouille sausage in your area, you can use any other spicy smoked sausage that will complement the flavors of the dish.

Using Fresh Ingredients

When it comes to making any recipe, the key to success is the use of fresh ingredients. In the case of andouille sausage and pepper cornbread stuffing, you must use fresh peppers, onions, garlic, and herbs instead of canned or frozen ones. Fresh vegetables will add texture and flavor to your stuffing, making it more flavorful and aromatic. Moreover, fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage are also crucial for the stuffing’s flavor profile, so make sure you use them in the right quantities.

Cornbread and Bread

Cornbread is the star ingredient of this dish, and it is essential to use good quality cornbread that is moist and crumbly. You can either make homemade cornbread or use store-bought ones, but make sure they are fresh and not stale. You can also add other bread like sourdough or white bread to the stuffing to create a contrasting texture. However, ensure that the bread is not too dried out or too soft; otherwise, it will affect the texture of the stuffing.

Cutting the Ingredients

The way you cut your ingredients affects the texture of your stuffing. For instance, chopping your vegetables too finely can result in a mushy consistency, whereas leaving them too large can cause the stuffing to be undercooked. It is recommended that you chop your onions, garlic, and peppers into small cubes to ensure they cook evenly and blend well with the other ingredients. Make sure the sausage is sliced into bite-sized pieces so that the flavors of the sausage blend well with the other ingredients.

Moistening the Stuffing

Moistening the stuffing plays a crucial role in creating a flavorful and moist stuffing. You can use chicken or vegetable broth to moisten your stuffing instead of water to add depth to the flavors. It is important to remember that the amount of broth you use will depend on the bread used for the stuffing. Cornbread is already moist, so you may not need as much broth as you would for white or sourdough bread. Start by adding a small amount of broth and add more as needed to reach the desired consistency.

Baking the Stuffing

Baking the stuffing to perfection is crucial to ensuring that it is moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. Bake the stuffing loosely covered with foil for the first 20-30 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for another 20-30 minutes until it is golden brown on top. Make sure you monitor your stuffing regularly while baking to prevent it from burning.

Adding Additional Ingredients

Andouille sausage and pepper cornbread stuffing is a versatile dish, and you can add additional ingredients to customize it to your liking. For instance, you can add nuts like pecans or walnuts, raisins, or cranberries to add crunch and sweetness to your stuffing. You can also add other vegetables like celery, carrot, or mushrooms to add more depth to the flavors. However, ensure that any additional ingredients complement the flavors of the stuffing and do not overpower them.

Conclusion

Andouille sausage and pepper cornbread stuffing is a delicious recipe that is perfect for the holiday season. The above tips will help you create a stuffing that is flavorful, moist, and perfect in texture. Remember to use fresh ingredients, high-quality sausage, and enough broth to moisten the stuffing. With these tips, you will have a dish that your family and friends will look forward to every holiday season.
