How to Bake Beef Tongue and Dressing

Baked beef tongue uses meat that many people have never tried.  It's easy to fix and quite tasty.  Here's how to fix it.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 1 beef tongue
• 4 cups bread crumbs
• 3 Tbsp. chopped onions
• salt (to taste)
• 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
• sage (to taste)
• 1/3 cup melted butter or margarine
• broth from boiling the tongue

1. Wash the tongue.  Cover with water and boil slowly until tender.  Save the broth it was cooked in.
2. Remove the skin from the tongue after boiling it.
3. Slice the tongue or cut it into chunks.
4. Make the stuffing by combining bread, onions, and seasonings.  Add the melted butter and broth to moisten.  Add this to the chunks of tongue. Covering the tongue with the stuffing keeps the tongue from drying out in the oven.
5. Bake the tongue and stuffing in the oven at 350 degrees until the stuffing is brown on top and done.

Tips & Warnings

• It's OK to substitute a box stuffing mix for the homemade stuffing.
