You might be thinking...Spicy Stuffing? Why!? Well, Deana and I are both from Texas and what can we say, we love the heat! We can all love traditional stuffing and have a side plate of adventure. This will be a hit amongst the heat loving eaters. They will BEG for more!
Not into spice but love flavor? Omit the jalapeno for a mild adventure.
Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients needed for Cornbread:
3 eggs
3 tbs melted unsalted butter or olive oil (I used evoo)
1 tbs apple cider vinegar
1/2 onion (diced)
1 green bell pepper (diced)
1 orange bell pepper (diced)
1 yellow bell pepper (diced)
1 red bell pepper (diced)
4 stalks of celery (sliced thin)
2 large carrots (sliced thin)
2 jalapenos (or 1 for mild)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tbs fresh or dried thyme
2 cloves of garlic (diced small)
3 tbs butter
1 tsp smoked paprika
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
-
Preheat oven or air fryer to 350 degrees
-
Cook your cornbread according to the directions and allow to cool
- Dice your cornbread according to the size you desire. I prefer larger cubes
- In a saute pan on medium. Melt your butter, add your onion, garlic and jalapeno
- Once the onions are translucent, add your remaining vegetable ingredients (not the broth) and cook until all are soft and set on low
- Toast your cornbread cubes until dry
- In a large mixing bowl, add your toasted cubes and veggies and toss gently with two spoons
- Microwave your chicken broth and slowly add to your desired consistency. I prefer a slightly wetter stuffing so I use all of it
- Taste test, adjust salt and place in a serving dish
- Garnish and serve!
Bonus flavors:
Add 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Add 1/3 cup cooked and chopped hickory smoked bacon
Or go traditional with your stuffing!! We love it all
