Thanksgiving is hands down my most favorite holiday of the year. It marks the beginning of the holiday season when everyone becomes super jolly and festive. It also begins the season where it is totally acceptable to dream of stuffing. Stuffing, probably the most underrated side dish of all. Stuffing, the BEST side dish of all. I'm not talking about the mushy box stuff you guys are probably imagining, I'm talking about the homemade goodness, moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside. My mouth is drooling right now as I sit in small group trying to listen to the guy talk about antihypertensize drugs.
Anyways, the proceeding stuffing recipe was the one I made for Thanksgiving this year. Reasons why this is the best dish ever:
- Who doesnt love cornbread?
- Who doesnt love bacon?
- Who doesnt love cornbread AND bacon together?
Kudos to Martha Stewart for the original recipe! I modified it based on what I had at home and on the fact that I had to feed an army on Turkey day.
Ingredients
- 8in square pan of stale cornbread, cut into small cubes (I used store bought and left it out overnight to become stale)
- 10slices of sandwich bread, cut into small cubes (I used whole wheat and left it out overnight to become stale)
- 6 slices of bacon, cut into small pieces
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3 eggs
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- salt and pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375degrees.
- In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy.
- Afterwards, add the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Cook until translucent. Take pan off heat to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs.
- Throw in all the bread, the bacon veggie mixture, and parsley and mix.
- Mix in 3 cups of broth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Put all of this into a 9x13 pan.
- Bake for 30min.
