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.

I enjoy sports, binge watching TV, food, reading, and slightly bearded men.
