Active: 40 min
Yield: 8 to 10 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  2. 1 large onion, diced
  3. 3 stalks celery, diced
  4. Kosher salt
  5. 1 pound bulk chorizo
  6. 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  7. 10 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
  8. 3 sprigs rosemary, leaves finely chopped
  9. 10 cups 1-inch cubes stale cornbread (about 2 pounds)
  10. 2 cups diced roasted green chiles (frozen or canned; preferably Hatch chiles)
  11. 3 to 4 cups chicken stock

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, season with salt and cook, stirring, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up the meat, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 to 2 more minutes. Add the sage and rosemary and cook 1 more minute, then remove from the heat.
  2. Combine the cornbread, chiles and sausage mixture in a large bowl. Add 3 cups chicken stock and toss with your hands until the bread is very moist, adding up to 1 more cup stock if needed. Season with salt. Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish and bake until the stuffing is hot throughout and golden brown on top, 30 to 35 minutes.

Super easy and super delicious. Made this recipe for Friendsgiving and everyone loved it! Paired nicely with the smoked turkey. Took leftovers to the in-laws for Thanksgiving and they said it’s the best stuffing they’ve ever had. This will be a side dish throughout the year – not just the holidays.
