Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups dry, crumbled cornbread
3/4 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup diced smoked sausage
1/2 cup cubed ham
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions
3/4 cup chicken broth
2 lg. Cornish game hens
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1/2 cup thinly sliced green pepper
1/2 cup thinly sliced red pepper
1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow pepper
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. Creole seasoning
1 can (16 oz.) tomato sauce
1 can (16 oz.) tomatoes
2 bay leaves
Parsley, minced

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500°F. Combine cornbread, mushrooms, sausage, ham cubes, scallions, and chicken broth; stuff cavities of hens with mixture. Tie legs with string. Bake in shallow roasting pan, uncovered, for 20 minutes, then remove and set aside. Lower oven to 350°F.

While hens are baking, heat oil in Dutch oven. Add onion, peppers and celery, and sauté until tender. Add garlic and seasoning, then sauté 2 minutes. Add tomato sauce, tomatoes and bay leaves, and heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

Place hens in sauce, and bake, tightly covered, until hens are tender and juices run clear when pierced with fork, 30 to 40 minutes.

Cut hens in half and place on serving platter, then spoon sauce over. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with broccoli au gratin and ice cream for dessert.
