Thanksgiving Stuffings | Basics with Babish

[@jak3ywhoelse]

Stuffing in my opinion is underrated. It's bread, onions and about 500 spices It's honestly something I'd eat everyday

[@rhekman]

And leftovers the next day spooned into a waffle iron is _muah_ chef's kiss 😘

[@TheGreektrojan]

Its so odd that stuffing is a top tier food but its on like no restaurant menus and people eat it only a few times a year.

[@trinswurld]

@@TheGreektrojan That's part of the appeal though, only eating it maybe 3 times a year makes eating it special.

[@mosshivenetwork117]

Onions huh

[@shadowsonicsilver6]

Have you ever had red wine stuffing?

[@twixxbar07]

Try swapping the raisins for dried cranberries in the cornbread stuffing! They add a nice tartness and compliment the turkey well.

[@DismemberTheAlamo]

The biscuit one sans cheese and subbing breakfast sausage for the bacon would probably give some biscuits and gravy vibes.

[@jakobboers5067]

I'm disappointed that isn't the direction he went, because that sounds amazing. Easy enough to make up the recipe though

[@mrastleysghost]

And then make the usual white sausage gravy the next morning to eat the leftovers with for breakfast

[@bubby6689]

sans cheese

[@D-S-G.]

sans cheese

[@emilyelizabethbuchanan998]

Why without cheese? Use some kind of breakfast-y cheese like gruyere or havarti and it'd be pefect!

[@mightyfilm]

That Italian style stuffing sounds like it would be great to make some stuffed peppers with.

[@brt5273]

That's an awesome idea!

[@Gladiator1972]

In the Italian stuffing, it seems he forgot to mention the green herbs he put in there?

[@EverStar5]

My family makes cornbread dressing. We make fresh scratch cornbread in a cast iron skillet and mix that with onion, celery and green onions, turkey drippings and seasonings. It’s my favorite part of thanksgiving

[@Brusselsprout763]

I would die to have some of that rn

[@bofi1280]

I've heard of cornbread dressing but never made it. Should I try?

[@ritaadams8379]

In the south, we make dressing. Mother's was the best. Day old cornbread cooked in a cast iron skillet - crumbled, not cubed, finely chopped onions and celery cooked with the turkey giblets, loads of sage... seriously, loads, and enough juice from the turkey pan to bring it all together. I can make it but Mother's was so much better.

[@wfiberk]

Also from the deep south and our family dressing recipe is very similar!

[@maenormand7635]

Yeah we do similar, when he said "traditionally made with sausage" I was like what? I've only ever had turkey or chicken dressing

[@monanagel6616]

As a German, I have absolute no connection to "stuffing". But these recipes do remind my of "Semmelknödel" - big dumplings made from dried bread with onions, herbes and egg. Perfect with every kind of gravy.

[@DarkSaber22]

I'd definitely try that

[@operatorchakkoty4257]

"Let those flavours BARELY get to know each other...talking corporate Christmas party." That is such wonderfully dry and snarky humor that it made me bark out a laugh, Tywin Lannister style. I'm using that one.

[@silverdemonwolf426]

If anyone wants a twist on the cornbread stuffing, my family cooks the onion and celery in the cornbread (just adding the chopped veggies to the batter before it's baked), and for the meat we do shredded chicken

[@ShutupandListen]

If y’all want stuffing that is moist af add cream of celery, mushroom, and chicken

[@thefoolishhiker3103]

I want to thank you for this video. Tonight I used the cornbread stuffing recipe and combined it with a coq au vin recipe that I got from one of my other favorite KZbin food channels, Chef John. The stuffing was amazing. This is the first time I’ve made stuffing that didn’t come from a box. This channel has really elevated my cooking abilities and I’m having so much fun with it.

[@Alex.2319]

The knowledge you spread is more valuable than recognized. I and many others appreciate the time and effort you put in, and have put into, the quality videos you make.

[@TripleMMusic2014]

Gotta love the way with words at 6:22

[@Bottemlessdrunk]

We do stuffing/dressing different in Canada. I make mine the Newfie way stale bread, onions,lots of butter and savory very simple but so good.I pretty much make turkey dinner for the stuffing and there's never enough

[@liaploumbis7882]

Darn. I was hoping he would try a Greek stuffing, which uses hamburger meat and chestnuts instead of bread. It’s really great and I recommend it

[@iamjeramy]

I made the cornbread stuffing for thanksgiving! It was my own take - 2 boxes of store brand cornbread mix made 2 days ago, sweated out some sweet white onion, added garlic, then about 3tbsp butter till just melted, combined with bread in a large mixing bowl, added freshly chopped rosemary, thyme, and sage and then chicken stock until it seemed wet enough. placed in small skillet with a few squares on top like in the above and did about as stated - 25 min at 350, then removed foil and did another 15ish. Tasted great! So proud of my first time making home-made stuffing!

[@rubybananers8215]

It's always interesting to see how other people make cornbread stuffing. If I made it like this, my entire family would disown me. You don't mess with Memaw's recipe.

[@ZeeZedZee]

No jalapeño? Not cornbread stuffing.

[@graciekattan6618]

Same here 😂especially because my fams stuffing is moist, not crunchy/dry. It’s totally different

[@thebababooey2723]

I LOVE YOU BABISH

[@DLeeGriff]

Shut up Baba he know it!

[@Seal_pup]

I LOVE YOU BABABOOEY

[@WontonV2]

based

[@jamesiyer4937]

And if it's quite alright I need you Babish

[@thesinfultictac5704]

"you love the idea of me"

[@marilynscott-waters7786]

My son made the cornbread stuffing (sans raisins) and it was the win! Absolutely the best.Thanks, Andrew!

[@AndrewSpiehler]

When I make cornbread dressing, I use chicken liver in addition to the sage sausage, swap out the onions for scallions, and add some green bell pepper.

[@cbauer72]

I keep threatening to make White Castle stuffing. One of these years I might actually do it. Chop up a sack of sliders (this gives the bread, meat and onions all in one) and then proceed with the rest of a traditional stuffing recipe from there.

[@Purpleducky]

My family has always done a potato stuffing. Basically just using potatoes instead or sausage. Best stuffing ever

[@brt5273]

Similar to chestnut stuffing that used to be so popular until the chestnut trees almost went extinct.

[@roberttucker9784]

Next year you should do dressing. Folks from the south know there’s a difference between stuffing and dressing…

[@crownedking_cj8890]

I learn something new everyday

[@hardcorpsvlogging]

As a southerner that married a New Yorker. I don’t let her anywhere near holiday food.

[@ploppyjr2373]

It actually is the same. They’re different words for the same thing but when stuffing/dressing started being cooked outside of the bird some people got confused about the definitions

[@auxzork2800]

I've never heard of raisins in stuffing and I could've gone the rest of my life without this knowledge.

[@SeraphimKnight]

What we've always down in my family (like 3 generations at least) was use mashed potatoes for stuffing. After cooking the turkey you pull it out and it makes for the most delish mash you've ever had. It's even better as leftovers. It's basically the most popular dish of thanksgiving now and my mom has had to make extra mash for some years now.

[@meganross8237]

My family stuffing is dried white bread, onions, salt, and pepper. And butter. Lots and lots of butter.

[@dwerical]

Thank you for this Babish. This is most certainly a really great dish for Thanksgiving day. Might try it out!!!

[@gwennorthcutt421]

since we live in the bay area, my mom always gets san francisco sour dough, then mixes in cooked onions, mushrooms, walnuts, and herbs. she always has to make two batches to last more than the meal itself

[@brt5273]

Cornbread is crumbly and cakey and has nothing to hold it together, so if it's holding together in the dressing it's too DRY. Some things, like cornbread dressing, are supposed to be soft. Rely on your celery, onion, the crunchy surface, bottom and edges to provide some texture, and just try to appreciate something soft for a change.

[@radicaladz]

My preferred recipe for seasonal stuffing is a sage and onion/chestnut stuffing with apple, caramelised onion, sausage, chunky croutons, and baked in loaf tins lined with bacon which you interlace/wrap to make a parcel. Sort of a bacon wrapped stuffing meatloaf, if you will, that you can slice and serve on the side. Best part of it is that, whilst it goes great with roast turkey when it's hot out of the oven, it also tastes delicious cold, and goes great with leftovers or post-dinner cheese and crackers on Boxing Day.

[@jlp2061]

Apple and sausage stuffing is fantastic....found in my very old Betty Crocker cookbook

[@julietblue1240]

Stuffing in Ireland is just so different, and so much simpler.

[@SherioCheers]

I love dressing/stuffing. Every year mine gets better as I perfect it.

[@MedEvil1c]

video posted 3 min ago + 1.7k views and 13 comments = we are all hungry for thanksgiving goodies

[@ryanwilson_canada]

Try to find summer savory, use it in place of sage. Being from and growing up in eastern Canada, that's what we use instead of sage. Personally i find it a much more pleasant flavour. Great video as always, hope everyone is staying safe, and taking care.

[@xpndblhero5170]

The breakfast stuffing sounds like a fantastic episode idea and sounds delicious.....

[@SuperKylewood]

As a Brit I always get confused by this version of stuffing, doesn't look much like the type of stuffing we're used to

[@joshhoward6351]

My family likes to eat Stuffing that has turkey liver, gizzards, and celery.

[@Samalys71]

My southern ancestors are rolling over in their graves over that cornbread stuffing 💀☠️

[@rasmusimland5889]

I make stuffin with rice instead of any bread, preferably some kind of half brown Rice. In Sweden its called porridgerice, works perfectly!

[@jahellen]

I make a cornbread stuffing very similar to this. The main difference is using dried cranberries instead of raisins.

[@jayremi1835]

Literally just made the Stuffing from the Last Minute Thanksgiving vid last night! Happy to have a focus on it with a whole basics episode! You do amazing work sir 👏

[@kristenmanchenton]

My fam does french canadian stuffing which is pork and potato and stock stuffing, no bread at all. It's impeccable and from my Memere's recipe!

[@Xanaloo]

Once we found cornbread stuffing we haven't gone back. We do it with bacon, apples, and onions. Never in the bird. Might need to branch out after watching this.

[@kjokjojessica]

I never thought about making corncake stuffing before. Not my preference but that Italian style looks amazing.

[@barryhannon971]

Not really American, in fact not really Irish either but my grandmother always made potato stuffing, with sausage, sage etc. But it's seems to be very regionalized to Co. Mayo. It's a tradition my mother and I continue every Christmas

[@aceofbade]

The biscuit stuffing sounds like a great breakfast idea

[@JacobRobertson]

Dear Babish, Love your videos and creativity. Having said that, I die a little inside every time you make a cocktail with a single malt scotch. This is by far the most egregious instance.

[@katiesoup4276]

All of those look dope, but I'm still waiting on the day when Babish recreates President Bartlet's stuffing (with oysters and andouille sausage!) from The West Wing (complete with a call to the Butterball Turkey Hotline).

[@andrewlee9257]

Recepies coming soon is the reason I've watched this video 72 times making all of these

[@h4ggs]

Andrew cmon man! I gotta see those recipes, I'm going shopping today

[@h4ggs]

Dawg, it's Thanksgiving day and no recipes. Now I gotta watch this video 5000 times.

[@naithom]

I'd love to see your take on oyster stuffing on of these days.

[@AliciaNyblade]

The cornbread and Italian stuffings look delicious! Will definitely be trying them both this holiday season.

[@Ratsfrom42]

Stuffing is the best part of Thanksgiving

[@readfreak2012]

My family’s classic stuffing is half biscuit half cornbread. My favorite thanksgiving dish!

[@brt5273]

My best friend's mother makes it like that and it is truly great.

[@Waywren]

thank you for finally covering cornbread stuffing!

[@DoctorX17]

I have been told that a name for stuffing made outside of a bird is also known as “dressing”, but that sounds weird Also biscuit stuffing sounds like it could be made breakfast or dinner style - breakfast sausage, sausage gravy, stuff like that for breakfast, or back towards turkey flavor and poultry gravy for dinner… mmmm I’m hungry

[@arock00758]

The best part of this video is that Andrew states that he used 2 packages of cornbread mix when we had just watched him pour 3 packages into a bowl.

[@izzybella3409]

We always make "classic" stuffing at my house, but try adding some roughly-chopped craisins in there! It sounds nuts but it's really nice both flavor and texture wise and stops it from being too mono-flavored

[@evalinder99]

my mom always makes little cornbread muffins for the dressing, tons of crispy crunchy parts 🤤

[@pgp612]

This is perfect I’m going to a Friendsgiving and was tasked with making the stuffing. Thanks you Babish!

[@oldinternetmeme]

Pennsylvania Dutch style stuffing is also a great option

[@NTgamezZ]

That last stuffing looks delicious

[@MedEvil1c]

I like to think that at 1:34 he nommed the "little guy" cube at 1:26

[@benwasserman8223]

After mashed potatoes, stuffing is the best Thanksgiving course.

[@socialdef3]

You mean after the turkey, stuffing is the best. Then pumpkin pie, cranberry saucelets and creamy spinash. Theeeen comes mashed potatoes.

[@shortseater9379]

"cimmanon sticks" what a sweet little lad

[@colinz226]

Am i the only one who got hung up on putting 12 year old scotch in apple cider?

[@bluesdjben]

I kind of want to try the biscuit stuffing but with shredded barbecue beef as the meat.

[@mixedexception1374]

Babish gang

[@craigberry669]

The time of year Babish assists me in disappointing my family and thanksgiving dinner

[@Askharr]

As much as I love pretty much all types of stuffing, my nana's is still my favorite. All it was was an extra-large loaf of Wonder Bread that would be toasted via toaster, which was my job as a kid, and broken up, a whole stick of butter and a whole boatload of onions and celery, which would be sautéed until nice and soft. The butter and veggies would be poured over the toast I so carefully made and a bit of salt and pepper would be mixed in. That was it. The majority of it would go into the turkey and any left over would be put into a pan and cooked. It was seriously the best stuffing. Never dry, so flavorful even though we never added anything like stock or herbs to it.

[@carliegriffin7229]

Happy Thanksgiving Mr Babish

[@grizz8400]

My new personal favorite stuffing is chorizo stuffing

[@NadiaSeesIt]

Yay!! Awesome timing Babby!!

[@ikaruseijin01]

Cornbread stuffing is fascinating to a Canadian like me where cornbread is really not a thing except with American expats.

[@VincentVader]

Yankee stuffing. It don't get better than. Southern style cornbread dressing as we call it. Rasins don't go in it.

[@SeekingCiera]

Cornbread dressing all the way

[@socialdef3]

americans have wayyy to much dressing and sauces. Go light errr once in a while huh

[@ritaadams8379]

Exactly!

[@Jambunctious]

Being from the UK, I will say this is nothing like the stuff we have. Closest thing is that it contains sage and onion lol

[@sirclarkmarz]

Try substituting the raisins with dried cranberries

[@philipsaul]

I always do a chorizo stuffing, and bake it on top of my mac and cheese

[@rebecca6944]

I'm surprised that since you diverged from tradition that you didn't make a dessert stuffing. I was hoping for a brioche, fruit mince, orange, cinnamon or cardamom kind of concoction

[@19Jackattack95]

Need that recipe y'all, turkey day is tomorrow!!

[@Unionhawk73]

Finally, a new episode in the hit series "will it Italian style"

[@themattyg]

MURICA!

[@sledgen.]

I need to watch more basics with babish this is awesome

[@bobsapdagger]

Another idea with the italian style stuffing, what if you went the route of a muffuletta?

[@BreakfastAtMyHouse]

Babish, can you make Liam’s Loaded Lasagna from I am Not Okay With This? Macaroni, cheese, maple syrup, ham, corn, A1, grape jelly, margarine, cinnamon, Fish sticks, soy sauce, graham crackers… would love to see it!!

[@TheDesignPantry]

They all look great!!

[@notasquiremario3299]

today i realized babish is almost at 10 million subs SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! ANOTHER REGULAR SHOW VIDEO!!!

[@kharnthebetrayer.2632]

Hey babish you should compromise and make grilled cheese off of a radiator while in the can.

[@johnvelez7058]

Malcom in the middle…. Monkfish turkey…. I need this in my life hahah

[@pookhahare]

Even though I will watch this later so glad it is here. Informative and Andrew has most soothing voice.

[@shurlokke]

Babish. You're my guy. I've been on board on a Babish binge for about three weeks. But the raisins. Nah homie.

[@vishalkalicharan7710]

Happy thanksgiving, Babish!

[@Hushkadush]

Stuffing does not need a meat added to it, if your planning on stuffing it into a protein.

[@Timmah200]

I'm a traditionalist; I still stuff my turkey with stuffing. Turns out just fine...herb butter underneath the skin keeps the meat moist. Oh well...

[@OwlValkyrieQuinn]

I read the thumbnail as Basics with Babish: Suffering and I thought, "Well, I already know how to make that."

[@rigomortiz]

Ty ty ty. Amazing episode

[@Darkandomniverted]

Idk if you've ever done this before, but can you go live or, do a video where you make vegetable, poultry, pork and beef stock and use them in different foods?!

[@TheDr41]

finna hit a smackington to this exquisite video lets go yodie fam

[@ArmiGirl90]

The Thanksgiving Leftover sandwich Francine made in the American Dad Season 15, Ep.22 “Yule.Tide.Repeat”

[@fjvarro]

One of the things I've never understood about people saying the stuffing won't come up to temp fast enough- If you stuff it immediately after mixing the browned sausage and hot stock into the bread etc, what temp does it need to come up to? Isn't it already hot, and while it might cool slightly from the coolness of the turkey, it is also then in the oven helping it to at least retain that temp?

[@jesst7861]

The problem is it’s sitting in a raw turkey so it needs to be cooked to 165-170. It’s denser than the turkey so it takes longer to come to that temperature, and by the time the stuffing is fully cooked the turkey is way too dry. It’s not going to maintain whatever temperature it was while you stuffed it in the bird because the inside of the bird is too cold and doesn’t heat up fast enough to maintain the temp.

[@fjvarro]

@@jesst7861 ah, so the cooked stuffing essentially gets contaminated and brought into the danger zone by the turkey and than needs to be recooked? That makes sense I suppose. Thanks!
