SeekingSimplicity Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 What can I make out of it? I don't have the stuff to make dressing, it sure would be good if I did. What else could I do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Croutons? Freeze it for stuffing at a later date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeekingSimplicity Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 We're broke this week and I'm having to be creative. I was hoping there was something I could do with it for supper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishboneDawn Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) Yum. I'd make up some kind of bread pudding with fruit and honey and use it for that. That would make a nice, filling and reasonably healthy dessert or breakfast. Edited September 5, 2011 by WishboneDawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Make soup or chili...crumble it in. yum! (of course, we've never had stale cornbread here...never lasts long enough..lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 If you google stale cornbread Chowhound has some ideas. I would dice it, soak it in milk, and then drop into quiche filling and bake. If you don't want to make a crust, put in small baking dishes and place in a pan of hot water up to the line of the filling, and bake this in the oven. My mother did it with the bottom of her roasting pan any time she didn't want the hassle or empty calories of a crust. A few minces bits of fresh hot pepper, or even bell pepper and some minced onion and paprika would round out the quiche for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I don't know what ingredients you have in your house, but when I have stale cornbread I make mexican casserole out of it. I crumble it and add chopped leftover meat - ground beef or the dregs of a leftover pot roast shredded, pork, or chicken, and I've even scrambled some eggs when I was out of other protein. Mix that together, pour salsa over the top and sprinkle cheese on top of that. Cover and let bake until heated through. The kids love it - the adults tolerate it. Also, when I'm broke and have cornmeal around, I boil it (you can look up the exact ratio of water to cornmeal online according to the serving size you want to give), and then put it in a cake pan, covered, to chill overnight in the fridge. The next day I cut it into slices and fry it on low in coconut oil. The boys butter it and drizzle syrup over top. They'll eat an entire cake pan and clamor for more. I think it's Depression era name is Fried Cornmeal Mush. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobela Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I grew up eating stale cornbread crumbled in milk or buttermilk. Very filling. Another favorite was to serve it under chili. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourcatmom Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I think I have been on this board too much because when I first read the title of the thread, I read STATE cornbread:tongue_smilie: I thought, oh that's new and I have never heard of that:001_smile: Just thought I would share my "senior" moment with you:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Franks buffalo wing sauce, some homemade pepper sauce, and a can of tomatoes, okra, and corn- all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I have half a lb of hamburger, some cooked blackbeans, and a can of tomatoes.... but I don't have any cumin or salsa I would fry the hamburger meat, and then add the can of tomatoes and black beans to that - season with salt and pepper to taste. Then do what Amana suggested with the cornbread. I'll bet it's quite good. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 How about a cornbread salad? http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/cornbread-salad-i/detail.aspx Several: http://www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-0,cornbread_salad,FF.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) I have Franks buffalo wing sauce, some homemade pepper sauce, and a can of tomatoes, okra, and corn- all together. Sounds like you have the makings for a Hamburger Gumbo of sorts. :) I'd make it up like a stew and pour it right on top of a piece of cornbread. Bread at the bottom of a nice soup is an legitimate and time-worn use of stale bread. Ah, the mother of invention. :) Edited September 5, 2011 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 :D :D Although I changed my mind about the corn bread. My kids enjoy certain bread at the bottom of their soup bowls and I do it all the time. Just as their father's mother before us used to do. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
