ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground meat
- 1⁄2 cup frozen corn

Cornbread Topping homemade gluten-free cornmeal mix from the cornbread bible
- 3⁄4 cup cornmeal, plus
- 3 tablespoons plain cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 3⁄4 cup milk
- 1 egg
directions
- Preheat oven to 425.
- If you have a cast iron skillet, use that! The one I used was 10" across and about 2" deep. Brown meat, seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
- Add corn, enchilada sauce, sour cream, garlic salt, and anything spicy if you desire, mix well.
- If you don't have a cast iron skillet, then place mixture in a greased casserole dish (or 9 x 13" dish, although I haven't tried it and I'm not sure if that would be too big for the recipe as written).
- Mix together the dry ingredients for the cornbread topping.
- Whisk together egg and milk.
- Add to cornmeal mix and mix well.
- Sprinkle cheese over meat mixture.
- Carefully pour cornbread batter over meat and cheese.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until cornbread is done, testing with a knife inserted in the middle and coming out clean, and cornbread is golden brown on top.
- More cheese could be sprinkled on top in the last few minutes of baking if desired.
- Serve with fresh toppings if desired, like shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, onions, olives, jalapenos, etc., sour cream, salsa or hot sauce.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a Christian wife and mother of 2, stepmother to 3. I have cooked since I was very young and have fond memories of my Grandmother teaching me how to knead bread. Opening the cupboards and refrigerator to find 'there's nothing here to eat' is a challenge that I love - some of my best dishes were forged out of scarcity!
Recipes are guidelines for me, generally speaking. I almost always modify and experiment. My family loves my cooking and I love to cook for my family!
