Caramelized Onion & Cornbread Dressing/Stuffing



Cornbread stuffing 
Super easy and inexpensive side that will be great for Thanksgiving dinner or any night.

You'll need...
2 tablespoons butter
2 onions, chopped
6 large cornmeal muffins, cubed
Handful fresh sage leaves, chopped
1 egg
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

To make...
 
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes, or until soft and caramelized. Add sage and scrape into a large mixing bowl.

Add the cornbread pieces, season well with salt and pepper, and give it a good toss until it's well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, cream, and stock, and pour that over the cornbread. Stir the stuffing together and stuff the cavity of the turkey.  OR You could spoon it into a buttered baking dish and put it in the oven along with the turkey.

Bake until hot and crusty on top, about 30 minutes.

Makes 6-8 servings.
