Chili Cornbread Pie
Sounds really good and there is several shortcuts you can prepare to cut costs but this will increase the time needed to prepare this. I think the lower cost, knowing what everything is made off is a good trade off. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
For the Cornbread Mix
- 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, OR make from a shortcut
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup milk
For the rest of the Pie
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix, OR make from a shortcut
- 1 can chili beans, OR make from a shortcut
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- salt, pepper, garlic powder, to taste
- lettuce, tomatoes, onions, shredded, diced, chopped, for toping, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 C.
- Prepare cornbread batter by mixing in the egg and milk, pour into a lightly greased 8x8 baking dish. Bake cornbread for 10 minutes then remove from oven, yes, it is not done, we will get back to that.
- Meanwhile, cook ground beef and onion in a medium skillet and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to your liking. Once cooked through, drain fat. Add the taco seasoning and undrained chili beans and stir well OR If using the shortcut for the beans, add the beans and 1/2 cup of water. Continue cooking on a simmer and until starting to to thicken, then spread chili evenly over partially cooked cornbread.
- Combine sour cream and 1 cup of Cheddar cheese and mix well. Spread sour cream mixture evenly over chili. Start by evenly placing dollops on top of chili then the heat from the chili will make it easier to spread. Top sour cream mixture with remaining Cheddar cheese then continue baking for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Serve, top each serving with shredded lettuce, chopped tomato and onion if desired.
Notes
For ground beef, figure 100 Baht/500 grams.Making the shortcuts, does take time, will save a lot. For 4 servings, this is about 74 cents per serving.
