Sausage Corn Bread Pudding is another restaurant remake that I want to share with you today.
South is a new restaurant that opened this Spring in Tupelo. It serves ‘upscale’ Southern cuisine offering an array of classic Southern dishes. It sits at a popular intersection off McCullough and Gloster streets. The owners have a very successful upscale restaurant in town. They know success lies in good food and good service. (A lot of restaurants overlook the service part!) We went the first time on Opening Day. Realizing Grand Opening can be somewhat a roll of the dice, we were pleased with the service. White tablecloths, gracious waiters, superb drinks.
My Peach Bellini was awesome. My Bread Pudding with Whisky sauce had good flavor but the cake part was dry and there wasn’t enough of the yummy whiskey sauce, which is the best part, right? (Loving desserts like I do, you know I’ll critique the desserts!) My son ordered Chicken and Waffles, the waffle was good. The chicken was wings instead of tenders. My son didn’t know chickens had bones, I wish the waiter would have suggested a chicken tender. We didn’t see that option on the menu at the time of ordering.
Sausage Corn Bread Pudding
One dish I did enjoy at South was the Sausage Corn Bread Pudding, which was actually just a Sausage Breakfast Casserole made dinner fare with the addition of creamed corn. It was good and somewhat unusual for a side dish. I decided to try it at home. I love to take my favorite restaurant dishes and remake them. Actually, restaurant menus give me endless inspiration. Often, menus inspire a totally different dish. But, sometimes, I try to duplicate it exactly. I decided to replicate this Sausage and Corn Bread Pudding and my recipe is pretty close to what I was served at South. I hope you enjoy my recipe.
Look at those pretty speckled farm-raised eggs from my Mother!
The team – sausage, bread, eggs, milk, cheese, the corn was tardy!, salt, dry mustard, pepper and thyme.
I like to dry the bread cubes in the oven 10 to 15 minutes before soaking it in egg/milk mixture.
Toss bread with egg and milk mixture and allow to sit.
Stir to coat and allow to sit.

Soaking.

Pour mixture into casserole dish .

Hi Paula, I can’t wait to try this recipe but I do have 1 question. What type of sausage do you use? Is it Breakfast Sausage or Italian Sausage?
Thanks,
Vicki
Paula says
I used breakfast sausage.
Debra Paddock says
do you have a bread pudding recipe with whiskey sauce?
Paula says
I don’t have one on my site yet, but I use this
combine 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup whiskey in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat, stirring constantly, until sauce is gently boiling. Pour sauce over baked bread pudding and serve.

This recipe is so good, Paula, if I had a baby girl I’d name her “south” or “southern”. lol Only my last name isn’t West.
Paula says

Paula says
It’s very good, the corn is slightly sweet and the sausage a little spicy. I enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by.
Christina @ Juggling Real Food and Real Life says
Hi Paula! This is such an original recipe. I’ve never seen a recipe like this before. I bet it is a wonderful mix of flavors. It seems like it would be filling enough to serve as a main course with a salad for the side. I know the carnivores in my family would love the sausage.
Paula says
It is very filling, I actually had three sides when we ate at this restaurant and this was one of them and I was stuffed ! Of course one was Mac and Cheese, my very very fav!!!
