MEXICAN PORK POT PIE WITH BLACK BEANS AND CORNBREAD CRUST
The pork mixture can be made a day in advance and refrigerated. Cooking time does not include cooking pork. You can also make this with ground beef. This is spicy, if you want to reduce the heat, then omit the jalapeño or Tabasco sauce. This is a really tasty dish, and the cornmeal topping just by itself is good baked in an 8x8-inch buttered baking dish, I baked mine for about 25 minutes at 350 degrees!

Steps:
- Grease a 4-quart baking dish (or a large enough baking dish to hold the mixture).
- For the filling: In a large skillet cook the onion, garlic, jalapeño pepper and green bell pepper in oil until the onion is softened (about 4-5 minutes).
- Add in ground pork; cook until the pork is no longer pink, stirring and breaking the mixture up with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in tomato paste, thawed corn, black beans, cumin, allspice, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, cornmeal, salt and pepper; mix well to combine, and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally for about 35 minutes (adding in more Tabasco sauce to taste.
- Spoon the mixture into prepared baking dish.
- To make the cornmeal crust: In a bowl sift together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add in melted butter, milk and egg; stir until JUST combined.
- Add in grated cheese and chili peppers.
- Spread or drop the batter by large spoonfuls around the edge of the casserole, or you can spread completely over the pork filling.
- If you are spreading the batter around the edge of the dish, you can sprinkle grated cheddar on top of the pork mixture in the middle of the dish, but that is optional.
- Bake in the second-lowest oven rack at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until the cornmeal crust is baked and the filling is bubbly.

Steps:
- PIE CRUST: Makes one set top/bottom.
- Mix together white wheat flour, salt, and sugar.
- Cut shortening or butter into flour. I like to leave pretty good size chunks of shortening or butter to make the pie crust more flaky.
- Add ICE COLD water a Tbsp at a time until flour/shortening pieces stick together and are ballable. ** I always add a different amount of water when doing pie crust. At most you may use a 1/4 C of water and at least you may use 1/8°C I think it depends on the moisture in the flour/sugar/salt/air as to how much you would add.**.
- Split ball into half and roll out bottom and top of pie crust to a 1/2 centimeter thickness.
- FILLING: Fills 2 pie crusts
- Flour pork chops and cook in frying pan on med-low heat with butter. Take out, cube, and set aside.
- Cube sweet potatoes, onion, red pepper, Fresno pepper and spices into frying pan with chicken broth. Bring to boil and simmer for 15-20 minute
- Put an equal ratio of flour and butter together in a small cup (usually one tbsp to one tbsp is enough) mix into broth and veggies. This will thicken the broth to make it more like a gravy. You can use several different techniques to thicken broth.
- Add cubed pork and sour cream to frying pan.
- Simmer for a few min, then pour into pie crust. Cover with 2nd layer of crust. Bake for 50 min at 375.

Tips for Making the Best Pork Pot Pie:
- Choose high-quality pork: Look for pork that is fresh, flavorful, and free of any gristle or excess fat.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrition to your pot pie. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
- Season the pork and vegetables well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and other herbs and spices to taste.
