Bacon-and Cheese Cornbread Pudding

Bacon-and-Cheese Cornbread Pudding

 

This dish can be prepared in advance; it can also be assembled the night before and cooked before you’re ready to serve it.

Bacon-and-Cheese Cornbread Pudding Recipe

 

Bacon-and-Cheese Cornbread Pudding

3 large eggs, divided

3 cups milk, divided

1 (8.5 oz.) box cornbread mix

6 pieces bacon

2 cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

¼ cup thinly sliced scallions

 

Preheat the oven to 400 F.  Coat a deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray.

Lightly beat 1 egg with 1 cup of milk; stir in the cornbread mix and let stand 5 minutes to allow some (not all) of the lumps to dissolve.  Transfer to the pie dish and bake until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean, about 17 to 20 minutes.  Remove from oven, reduce oven temperature to 50 degrees, and allow cornbread to cool, cut in 1 inch pieces.

Cook the bacon; drain on paper towel and crumble.

Beat the remaining 2 eggs with a fork; stir in the remaining 2 cups of milk and cheese.  Add the cornbread, bacon and scallions; allow to stand 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cornbread becomes soggy.

Wipe out the pie dish and again coat with cooking spray.  Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared pan and bake until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out clean, about 40 minutes.  Allow to cool slightly before cutting into wedges to serve.             8 servings

Vegetable Soup with Dumplings

Vegetable Soup with Dumplings

 

Not only is this hearty soup my family’s favorite meatless recipe, but it’s a complete meal-in-one.  It’s loaded with vegetables, and the fluffy carrot dumplings are a great change of pace at dinnertime.

 

Vegetable Soup with Dumplings Recipe

Vegetable Soup with Dumplings

1 ½ cups chopped onions

4 medium carrots, sliced

3 celery ribs, sliced

2 Tbsp. canola oil

3 cups vegetable broth

4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced

4 medium tomatoes, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

½ tsp. salt

½ tsp. pepper

¼ cup flour

½ cup water

1 cup chopped cabbage

1 cup frozen peas

CARROT DUMPLINGS:   2 ¼ cups Reduced Fat Bisquick Mix

1 cup shredded carrots

1 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley

1 cup cold water

10 Tbsp. shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

 

In a Dutch oven, cook the onions, carrots and celery in oil for 6-8 minutes or until crisp-tender.  Stir in the broth, potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-25 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

In a small bowl, combine flour and water until smooth; stir into vegetable mixture.  Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.  Stir in cabbage and peas.

For dumplings, in a small bowl, combine baking mix, carrots and parsley.  Stir in water until moistened.  Drop in 10 mounds onto simmering soup.  Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do NOT lift cover while simmering).  Garnish with cheese.            10 servings
