I decided to make some Mexican cornbread, butter beans and sausage tonight. I figured I'd share my Mexican cornbread recipe with you guys.
Recipe: Place large cast iron skillet in oven and preheat oven and skillet to 400 degrees Dry ingredients: 1 cup corn meal 1 cup all purpose flour 2 table spoons sugar 4 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 tea spoon salt Wet ingredients: 1 cup whole milk or butter milk. I use butter milk 1 large egg 1/3 cup sour cream 3/4 can of cream style corn 1 can diced green chilis 1 1/2 cups grated Colby/Cheddar cheese Put milk in a large glass bowl. add the egg and whisk until mixed. add dry ingredients and whisk until mixed. stir in chilis, corn, sour cream and cheese. put 1/4 cup vegetable oil/bacon grease in skillet along with a large lump of real unsalted butter. spread oil/butter mixture around skillet and watch it sizzle. It gets me excited. While skillet is still hot but after butter is melted pour in cornbread mix. It will start to fry around the edges. Place in oven and cook for approximately 25-30 mimutes. This is what you end up with.

I made "cornbread" last night too. Krusteaz Honey Cornbread mix enhanced with crumbled bacon, white shoepeg corn, sharp cheddar, and green onion. It isn't exactly cornbread, but it's so good it'd make a rabbit hug a hound. Ate it with chili made with the Carroll Shelby mix; dumped in half a can of Castleberry's hotdog chili left over from the previous day's chili dog lunch to get it eaten before I had to throw it out. Blue Bell vanilla topped with Smucker's Raspberry Fruit Spread, chocolate syrup, and Great Value canned whipped cream for dessert.
Amazingly, he loves me anyway. |

Quoted: LOL I know it is not Purist Mexican. It is however delicious. You can't have any anyway Paco. Quoted: Quoted: That is TexMex bullshit. Not Mexican. LOL I know it is not Purist Mexican. It is however delicious. You can't have any anyway Paco. Purist? Mexicans do actually make their own cornbread. If you are a Texan then you should know that slapping green chilis into something don't make it Mexican. It sounds like something a Yankee would do. |

Quoted: Sometimes the butter burns that way. Quoted: Quoted: I add the butter to the skillet when I put it in the oven to heat up. Saves time and the skillet doesn't cool down any before I dump in the batter. Sometimes the butter burns that way. |
