Nothing says comfort food quite like homemade stuffing during the holidays. Warm, savory, and packed with flavor, this New Mexico inspired cornbread stuffing adds roasted Hatch green chile to a classic family favorite.

Using Chile Peeler Nation Freeze Dried Hatch Green Chile gives this stuffing a bold New Mexico flavor that pairs perfectly with turkey, ham, or any cozy family dinner.

Step 1: Rehydrate Your Chile Peeler Nation Green Chile

Place your freeze dried Hatch green chile into a bowl and cover with warm water. Let soak for about 10 to 15 minutes until soft and fully rehydrated.

Step 2: Peel and Chop the Chile

Once rehydrated, gently peel away the charred outer skin just like traditional roasted Hatch green chile. Remove stems if needed, then finely chop the chile.

Ingredients

• 2 packages cornbread stuffing mix
• 1 cup celery, finely chopped
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 1 cup cooked giblets, finely chopped
• 1 to 2 cups rehydrated and chopped Chile Peeler Nation Hatch Green Chile
• 2 to 3 cans chicken broth
• Salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste

Optional:

• Crumbled sausage
• Bacon pieces
• Fresh sage
• Diced carrots

Directions

Place the stuffing mix into a large bowl.

In a skillet, sauté celery and onion in butter until soft and fragrant, about 10 minutes.

Add the cooked onion, celery, giblets, and chopped green chile to the stuffing mixture and stir well.

Slowly pour chicken broth over the stuffing until evenly moistened but not soggy.

Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Allow stuffing to cool slightly before placing inside a turkey.

Casserole Dish Option

If you prefer not to stuff a turkey, butter a 9x13 baking dish and spread the prepared stuffing evenly inside.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes until warm and lightly golden on top.

Serve alongside turkey, mashed potatoes, green chile gravy, or your favorite New Mexico holiday dishes.
