I want to make some sort of casserole-y type dish with a cornbread-like topping. Got anything for me?

Pretty much anything would go, and I'm pretty good and self-modifying for anything that I'm not comfortable using. But here are a couple of things: I would prefer it be a beef dish, b/c then I could make it tonight, but if you have something yummy using another meat, go ahead and tell me about it too. Vegetarian might be ok too. Maybe not something *hugely* cheesy? But, *shrugs* I'm flexible on this one as well.

Looking forward to suggestions. :)

Here's a basic recipe using Jiffy Cornbread.  I use diced tomatoes (undrained) and add a can of tomato puree and a can of tomato sauce.  I also saute some chopped onion, green bell pepper and a chopped jalapeno along with the ground beef.  I eliminate the corn and add a couple of cups of cooked pasta (elbows, shells, etc.) instead.  If I have shredded cheddar on hand, I throw some into the cornbread batter.

 

1 pound ground beef

1 can tomatoes

1 can whole kernal corn

1 env. taco seasoning mix

1 pkg. Jiffy corn bread mix

Brown ground beef, drain excess fat if needed.  Add taco seasoning, tomatoes, corn, salt and pepper.  Simmer a few minutes, transfer to casserole dish.

Prepare corn bread mix, adding slightly more milk so it will be of pouring consistency.  Pour on top of casserole.  Bake at 350 until heated through and corn bread is golden.

Hi, folks. I've been using PBS for several months, but this is my first posting here.

This is one of my and my family's favorite Thanksgiving recipe. I usually double it so we have plenty to eat with leftover turkey & other side dishes.

  • 1 cup dairy sour cream

  • 1 package (9 oz) corn muffin mix

Thanks Jo and Mimi. I forgot about a meeting last night, and we have another tonight. But I'm still craving something like this, so I think I'm going to use one of these recipes tomorrow night for dinner. Thanks!!

Christina Ferrare just made a cornbread chicken pot pie on Oprah.    Really simple -- but I'm sure I would screw it up ;p

Ingredients:


Filling:

  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 medium Onion , chopped
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups chopped Roasted Chicken
  • 1/2 cup frozen sweet petite peas
  • 1 potato , diced and boiled
  • 1 1/2 cup chopped, cooked carrots
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • Cracked pepper
  • Dash of Tabasco® sauce
Crust:

  • 3/4 cup white or yellow cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 Tbsp. canola oil
To make filling: Preheat the oven to 400°. Spray a 2-quart casserole with cooking spray. In a large sauce pan, heat olive oil and unsalted butter together. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 4 or 5 minutes. Add in flour until blended. Slowly stir in 2 cups of heated chicken stock, whisking well. Cook mixture over medium heat until thickened and bubbly, about 4 minutes. Stir in chicken, peas, potato, carrots, salt, pepper and Tabasco®. Pour into a 2-quart ovenproof casserole dish coated with cooking spray and spread mixture evenly. 

To make crust: In a bowl, stir cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Stir milk, egg and canola oil until well combined. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Spoon the batter evenly on the filling. Bake until the top is golden brown, about 22 to 25 minutes.
