I know y'all read the title and was like "What in the Debbie Does Dallas is she eating?" If you've spent more than 17 minutes around me, you know that I don't eat cornbread, or anything corn meal related. 2 years ago if you were like "Lisa, for dinner you're going to be eating beans and cornbread for supper", I would assume that you were in danger and you were signaling me for help. Blink twice for no. Well I got married and moved into the wilderness, and I have discovered that there is a type of corn meal that I DO like! It is blue corn that is home ground by my father in law, using an ancient electric coffee grinder. So here is what I used: 1 lb of ground turkey. Could legit use beef, turkey is what I had. 2 eggs from the hens that have decided to contribute. One 14oz can of creamed corn. When I make this again, I am going to mix whole kernel corn in with it, halfsies. 1 cup of milk. Apparently you can buy 2% milk at The Dollar Tree that isn't refrigerated, and doesn't have to be until you open it. Not in a can, BTW. Side note, if I keel over tomorrow, don't try the milk. 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. 1 cup of Papa's Blue Cornmeal. Now if you show up and ask him for some, I am sure he'd oblige. If you don't want to want to drive out to BFE, you'll have to go to the store and buy your own. Warning, everyone here is heavily armed on the hill. 3 heaping tablespoons of all purpose flour. Jared keeps ours in the freezer? 2 teaspoons of baking powder. A shake of salt. 4 cups of shredded cheese. You heard that right. As much chopped onion as you want. There are no rules. Chopped jalapenos. Obvi. It's a Mexican casserole. Okay. Preheat your oven to 350°. Spray down a 9x13 baking dish. Chop up your onion, brown the meat. We added a Mexican blend spice and fajita seasoning because we boujee. Mix (idk why the font changed) together the milk, eggs, oil, and corn. In a separate bowl mix the flour, corn meal, baking powder, and salt. Jared used a sifter like we are on Master Chef or something. Whisk all of the ingredients into one bowl until it looks ghastly. Alright. Pour half of the wet mixture into your pan. Add 2 cups of the cheese. I mixed it up with Sharp Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Fiesta blend. Add the meat, jalapenos, and then the onion. Why is my font being a crackhead? Add the remaining cheese, and then pour the other half of the wet mixture, and smooth the top. It should look like this: Put it in the oven for about an hour, uncovered. Make sure that you take out any cast iron skillets that you forgot that were in the oven to begin with. This will save a lot of cussing. Paired with Northern Beans that were cooked for like two days with a ham bone, this was delish. I even went for seconds.

Okay, y'all. I have the snack that is the sparkle tits of all chocolatey snacks. Be warned...it's messy as hell. Also, I didn't realize that the recipe I had was for like a Duggar family of 37. I made it big, and at one point thought that I was going to need to bring out the gumbo pot. Make sure that you have adequate sized bowls before you start. What I used: 3 cups of Rice Chex 3 cups of Corn Chex 2 cups of Honey Nut Cheerios 1/4 cup of butter Close to 3/4 cup of peanut butter 1.5 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips Just over a cup of powdered sugar 2 big ol' tablespoons of cocoa powder 8 oz of M&M's. I bought two 8 oz packs, but just used one. Two would have been better. 2 cups of mini peanut butter cups Way too many pretzel sticks. The recipe called for 2 cups but I don't like them, so I threw in maybe half, and still had to pick them out. Okay. remember to have big enough bowls and properly functioning Ziploc bags handy. Mix all of the Chex and Cheerios together. In a small bowl add the butter, peanut butter, and chocolate chips, then stick it in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then just heat it until it starts to melt better. Here is where it gets dramatic. My "big" bowl was already filled to the brim, and now you need to pour the melted butter and chocolate over the Chex/Cheerios and make sure it's ALL coated. Okay whatever in my small ass bowl. You then put the cocoa powder and powdered sugar in a Ziploc bag and shake it until it looks like dirty cocaine. So NOW, you need to mix the napalmed cereal mix with the powdered mixture. It said to do this in a GALLON Ziploc bag. Lies. All lies. I crammed it all in there, and then THE BAG BUSTED!!! So I am yelling for Jared to come help, looking like I have the doo doo hand, and he said we could put another bowl on top and rock it that way. So now I have 23 dirty dishes, a doo doo hand, and I still have to add 5 (FIVE) more cups of ingredients. So yeah, I brought out the roasting pan. Once all of the cereal is coated with the melted mixture and the powdered mixture, mix all of the M&M's, peanut butter cups, and (gag) pretzels in a working Ziploc bag, then fold them in with the cereal. Stir carefully so the Chex doesn't crumble and the peanut butter cups don't break. I put mine in the fridge for an hour. We've been eating it from the fridge, but you don't have to chill it if you don't want to. Enjoy this completely non-staged picture. |
I enjoy sports, binge watching TV, food, reading, and slightly bearded men.
