Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 pound bacon -- cut into 1/2-inch
-- pieces
1 package corn muffin mix (8-1/2 oz)
or
6 cups crumbled cornbread
2 tablespoons sweet cream butter
1 cup onion -- diced
1 cup celery
1/4 cup parsley -- chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
or
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup dried cranberries (Craisins)
1 egg -- lightly beaten
3/4 cup chicken broth (or water)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon pieces, stirring often, until bacon is crisp and drippings are rendered, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon from skillet; reserve drippings in skillet.
Prepare cornbread as package directs, stir in bacon pieces. Into a well-greased 12-inch by 15-inch shallow baking pan, spread batter into 1/4-inch thick layer; bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden. Cool slightly; cut or crumble into a large bowl. (Can be made a day ahead; store uncovered.) Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Add butter to skillet drippings. Over medium heat, cook onions, celery, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper, stirring often, until vegetables are soft; stir in cranberries; add to cornbread. Stir egg into broth; pour over cornbread; thoroughly combine ingredients. Lightly press mixture into a well greased 8-inch or 9-inch baking pan*; bake 20 to 25 minutes until golden.
*Note: Stuffing can be made to this point up to a day ahead. Cover and refrigerate mixture until baking time.
