Texas Cornbread Stuffing recipe

This is a fun and festive stuffing that is not classical in any way. It is slightly spicy and very colorful. Try it alongside regular stuffing to give your guests plenty of options. Serves 6.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups day-old cornbread
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup pickled jalapeno slices, chopped, plus more for garnish
• 1/2 cup corn kernels
• 1/4 cup chopped roasted red peppers
• 1 1/2 cups turkey or chicken stock
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried cumin
• 1 cup Monterrey jack cheese, divided

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375F.

2. In a medium saute pan heat the butter over medium heat until melted. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. Add the jalapeno, corn, and red peppers. Cook until hot, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

4. Place the cornbread into a large bowl and pour the vegetables over. Add the chicken stock, herbs, and 1/2 cup cheese. Stir to combine completely.

5. Place into a baking dish and bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Top with the remaining cheese and bake another 10 or 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
