Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c cornmeal
1 can(s) cream style corn
1 tsp baking powder
1 c butter milk (if you don't have buttermilk-you can measure a scant cup of milk and add white vinegar or lemon juice, stir and let it sit 10 minutes)
2 c shredded cheddar cheese separated (1 cup each)
1 can(s) 4 oz green chiles or diced jalapenos
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt separated
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 medium onion, diced
1 lb ground beef

  • 2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl add cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Then add 1 cup cheddar and coat cheese well with the dry ingredients. Then add cream style corn, milk, and green chiles.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this pie. The cornbread crust is the perfect complement to the spicy filling.

I've made this pie several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day.

This pie was a total flop. The cornbread was dense and crumbly, and the filling was bland.

The cornbread crust was a bit too dry for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I think I'll try using a different cornbread recipe next time.

This pie was a bit too rich for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try making it with less cheese next time.

This pie was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try making it again with less chili powder.
