Grandma's Cornmeal Mush With Cheese image

My grandparents ate cornmeal mush A LOT. Usually they ate it plain for breakfast, but if grandma had family over for dinner she would sometimes make it this way.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 qt water
1 1/2 tsp salt
a few dashes of black pepper
1 1/2 c fine yellow cornmeal
4 Tbsp butter
1 c sour cream
1/2 c monterey jack cheese
1/2 c cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Bring water to a boil in an oven-proof pan. When boiling, add salt and pepper and remove from heat.
  • 2. Stirring constantly, slowly trickle cornmeal into water. Stir well, to eliminate lumps. Return to heat and bring back to a boil. Turn down the heat and cook slowly until the mush thickens, about 20 minutes, stirring often. It should be about the thickness of thick cake batter - if too thick, stir in a bit more water.
  • 3. Melt butter, pre-heat oven to 350. Pour butter to cover bottom of baking dish. Spoon in half of the cornmeal mush to cover bottom of baking dish. Spread half of the sour cream over the mush,then sprinkle with half of each cheese. Repeat the layers - mush, sour cream, cheeses.
  • 4. Place in the oven for a few minutes, just until the cheeses are melted and the top is lightly browned. Serve and enjoy!
