GF Recipe - Sassy Cornbread Pie (not a dessert)
This is adapted from my grandmother's cornbread recipe and my need for gf "whole family" style meals.
As with all my recipes. GIGO. Gluten In, Gluten Out. If you put stuff in it that has gluten, your meal will contain gluten. Not my fault. Read your ingredients, know your manufacturers.
Meat Mix
1.5 lbs Ground beef
1/2 tsp Adobo Crillollo (spanish garlic salt w/pepper)
12 oz Bottle of Chunky Salsa
1/2 tsp Cumin (flavor enhancer)
1 tsp Diced Garlic
12 oz can Diced Tomatoes
1 egg
Green Tabasco Sauce - optional
8 or 16oz Shredded Cheese (Jack Blends, Mexican Blends. Whatever makes ya happy)
1 tsp Lime juice - optional
Brown and drain beef. Add tomatoes, garlic and salsa. (and lime juice and tabasco if you're up for it) Stir. Add cumin and adobo. Stir. Taste. Need anything? Add it now. When tasty, add egg and stir. Get the ingredients ready for part two. The meat can cool while you're working on the rest of the recipe.
Cornbread Mix
3/4 c GF Yellow Cornmeal
1/4 c Maseca (spanish corn flour)
1 Tbsp Vinegar
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
2 Tbsp Sugar
2 C Milk
1 Large Egg
1/2 Cup Chopped Onion - optional
1 Can of Corn - optional
cast iron skillet - not optional
Put oil into cast iron skillet, swirl around. Put skillet into oven. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Heating the skillet and the oil is necessary.
Sift all dry ingredients together. When totally blended add onion or corn to this mix if you're gonna going for the options. Beat egg into 1 Cup of milk. Add to dry mix and stir. Slowly add the rest of the milk until your batter resembles a drippy-thin pancake batter. Not watery, more like a beaten egg, sticks to your spoon a bit. Add vinegar and stir again.
Pour cornbread mix into hot skillet. Yes, that is hot oil. Yes, you can get burned. Be careful, kids.
Stir gently to distribute oil through mix. Pour meat mix into center, leaving about 1/2 inch without meat around the edges. Use spoon to distribute evenly. Lift heavy, hot skillet and slide into oven. Bake for 25 minutes. When you remove from oven, sprinkle cheese over entire top of pie. Let this rest for about 15-20 minutes. Slice like a pie and enjoy.
Serves 8
