Ive forgotten but--what is the proper name to call this meal? Cornbread thread.

[the ringo kid]

Mexican Cornbread? Sounds tasty, minus the corn, may try this soon. Used to have something similar, put some chili in a dish, add a layer of cheese, then put cornbread mix on top, bake.

Not sure? I think Mex cornbread has jalapeno peppers in it--which I also like. Ive also had some from a local bakery that also adds bellpeppers and such.

It's called lunch. Or dinner. Throw some bacon in and we'll call it breakfast, too.

I make something similar that I've always heard called cornbread casserole.

Mix up your cornbread batter, add blackeyed peas and chopped ham or bacon . Place in a greased dutch oven and bake. Dad would put sausage and cheese in his cornbread on occasion. My dad was from Arkansas and my mom from Ohio. Mom loved dad dearly and tried to make home cooking for him on occasion, which meant blackeye cornbread and ham. However she always cooked the cornbread in a muffin pan and dad always used a baking pan. I took after dad I guess because I make mine in a cast iron frying pan.

Possibly--or even Foodloaf?? I remember that was what we served those inmates who were acting like children throwing temper tantrums.They would get a meal made up of left-overs from the night before--mixed and baked in a dough or cornbread mix. That coule be almost anything too. Could be raisins mixed with green beans,peas,carrrots,somekind of a meat substance--all mixed into the bread or cornbread mix--and made into about eight inch long by about four inch wide--loaves. Sounds sickening but--really aint that bad.Going through training--we had to eat some.

Ruthie and I put cornbread batter, onions, bell peppers, jalapenos and bacon bits in a cast iron skillet. Serve with pinto beans and ham.

That's what I'm talking about.

My mouth is watering--do you do mail order?

Growing up in NE Indiana, I remember eating corn meal mush sliced and fried in butter. We would pour maple syrup on the slices.

Thats another im going to have to try--buy towards years end. I also have some real Maple syrup--from Vermont that also needs to be used.

 

[the ringo kid]

I'd call it a hell of a meal, if the cornbread is not sweet.

Sweet cornbread is cake.

Sometimes when im making only a cornbread mix--I do add honey or maple syrup. I like the results--so do a few of my neighbors. Its sweet but not ovely sweat. Also,you can use Caro Syrup too--which to me--has a lighter taste.My grandmother used to make Caro syrup pies

 

[the ringo kid]

I remembered!!

It's called "Corn Bread With Stuff In It".

Whew. I'm glad I got that. It's been bugging me all day.

Or possiby, Stuffed Cornbread or Cornbread Soufflet? But then if a soufflet--wouldnt it also have to have eggs?

I couldnt find any Jaxon corn meal mush but I did find some Polenta at Kroger and its the same thing.

 

[the ringo kid]

This also reminds me. Ive heard you can use applesauce in place of eggs in a cornbread mix. Ive never tried that before.

 

[the ringo kid]

Ringo, found this one for ya. You might like it, it's called Cowboy cornbread.

Easy Cowboy Cornbread Casserole | Back in Dallas

Ive had that before and love it. I never knew what it was called? My sister makes this a few times a year. There is or was a Mex restaurant here that served this over enchiladas. I tried that before--and just doesnt go well together.

 

[the ringo kid]

What a horrible thing to do to good cornbread!!!


Art

It is horrible. They didnt add enough japapenos to the mix.

 

[the ringo kid]

Isn't cornbread with sugar called Johnny cake?

I havent tried any but--I have seen it with powdered suger on it. They serve this at some Tex Mex places here. They have that and Sopapillias--ill take the sopas anytime.

 

[the ringo kid]

Ive seen the Polenta for sale here--but usually only around Thanksgiving or years end times. Man I sure wish we still had a Krogers here.

 

[BearBio]

I've fried the polenta==doesn't taste quite the same but it'll do in a pinch!

BTW: One of my favorite breakfasts was corn meal mush with sugar and milk!

 

[Fred_G]

According to the package of cornbread mix I just cooked, Mexican Cornbread it just cornbread with cream corn added. Guess adding the meat makes it something different. But tasty...

 

[joeintexas]

Not sure what that is called if it involves cornbread I would sure eat it. We like to mix in cream style corn and green chili, serve with pinto beans, bacon and fried potatoes. Takes a brave man to face a heart attack that way! Good luck with your dinner.

 

[carpriver]

We called it supper. And were damn happy to eat it.

 

[the ringo kid]

This concoction I never had at home--unless I made it. The first time Iever had this--I was in the hospital with double pneumonia. That was where I also had the biscuit version of it too.

Kind of a corny thread.

Kind of a corny thread.

But it is one that will satisfy your hunger--like a Snickers bar.
