WEEKNIGHT BEEF AND BEAN CASSEROLE WITH CORNBREAD TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven set over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned through, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the fat from the meat. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, pinto beans, tomato sauce, and tomato and remove the pan from the heat. Top with the cheese.

CORNBREAD-CHILI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef to the onion and saute, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain off any excess fat. Stir in the salsa, corn, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Transfer the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, smoothing into an even layer.
• In a large bowl, mix together the corn muffin mix with about 1 1/2 cups milk, or just enough to make it easy to spread. Spread it thinly over the chili mixture. Bake until browned to top, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the casserole to set. Top with the Cheddar and sour cream before serving.

NEW YEAR'S DAY CASSEROLE WITH CORNBREAD TOPPING

Steps:

• 1. First, please note that under the section where I had to pick a cooking method, I chose "bake" because that's the final step, however this recipe involves mulitple steps and stove top cooking as well. Now, on to the recipe . . . Saute ham in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Gradually add chicken broth and cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes or until broth begins to thicken.
• 2. Bring mixture to a boil and add chopped onion, green peppers, and collard greens; return to boil and cook, stirring often, 15 minutes. Stir in black-eyed peas and crushed red pepper. Spoon hot mixture into a lightly greased 13 x 9 baking dish. Note: I'd use a bigger one because I've NEVER gotten this recipe to fit in a 13 x 9 dish. I always end up using a very large, oval-shaped baking pan that belonged to my grandmother (which probably explains why it always tastes so good).
• 3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F, and combine the corn meal mix, all-purpose flour, and sugar in medium bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Add eggs and buttermilk. Stir just unitl moistened. Pour batter evenly over greens and blac-eyed peas mixture. Bake at 425 for 25 minutes or until cornbread is golden brown and set. It is so delicious that I have to warn to let it cool off at least a little bit before you try a bite. I have burned my tongue on this one more than once. :) Enjoy!

CORNBREAD AND CHICKEN THIGH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a 1 1/2- to 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.

• Transfer chicken and vegetable filling to the prepared casserole dish. Top with cornbread batter and smooth with a spatula. Don't worry if layer is thin.
