Cornbread, Chorizo, and Jalapeno Stuffing (adapted from Cooking Light)
1 box Jiffy cornbread mix
½ c. cheddar cheese
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and dived
1 t. olive oil
3 oz. chorizo sausage, casing removed and crumbled
½ t. garlic powder
1 t. salt
1 c. diced red pepper
½ c. thinly sliced green onion
1 c. cubed French bread
2 egg whites
1 c. chicken broth
1 lime, cut into wedges
1. Make the cornbread according to the directions on the box, adding ½ cup cheese to the batter. Allow muffins to cool and then crumble into a large mixing bowl.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13 x 9 pan with cooking spray.
4. Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the contents into the crumbled cornbread. Stir in the French bread, egg whites, and broth. Stir until the bread is moist.
5. Spoon the cornbread stuffing into the baking pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with lime wedges.

This looks so good. We are always looking for a new take on Thanksgiving stuffing and this definitely fits the bill. Can't wait to give it a try!

I agree with your brother: "pretty freaking awesome" sounds about right! Anything with chorizo and jalapeno has my vote.

This looks awesome! I love the flavor combination of chorizo and cornbread anyways ( I make a chorizo beef corn casserole thingy and fell in love with it then). I will have to give this a try. Thanks for the recipe!

I absolutely, positively have to make this. It caught my eye right away in Cooking Light and to know it's as good as it sounds? Almost sounds too good to be true! 🙂
