This tenderloin roast makes a good company dinner. It is similar to Beef Bourguignon, but requires considerably less cooking time. Roasted shallots are added to the sauce along with sauteed bacon bits. The recipe serves 6 and can be doubled.
A savory stuffing made with corn bread and spicy pork sausage has a lot of possible make-ahead steps, so you can get it ready in plenty of time for the Big Day.
