Bacon, Tomato & Cheese Stuffing
My Bacon, Tomato & Cheese Stuffing recipe has sort of evolved over time because I love to make turkey breast throughout the year and I love stuffing. I was trying to come up with a stuffing recipe that tasted more like something that I could serve during the summer with my BBQ turkey breast and cold salads. I just kept adding and tweaking until I finally nailed it.
What’s funny is that once my kids tasted it they became huge fans and this stuffing turned into a family favorite at holiday time. I now make our traditional turkey dressing as well as this one and guess which one is licked clean?
The jalapeno definitely gives it a spicy flavor and we love that here in Texas but, if that’s not your thing just leave it out. You will still love the bacon, cheese and the tomatoes on top. And everyone has their preference of a “base” for their stuffing. This recipe calls for toasted cubes of white bread mixed with cornbread. This just happens to be what we like in our family but, if you like all cornbread go for it – just make sure your measurement of bread is the same. I always end up adding a little more broth at the end because we like ours very moist.
I typically serve this during the summer along with braised collard greens or my charred corn salad… it’s the perfect side dish!
