Mexican Stuffed Cornbread Recipes

Steps:

• Brown ground beef with a little onion and garlic powder, if desired. Drain well & set aside.
• Mix cornmeal, canned corn, sugar, onion, 2 cups shredded cheese, oil, eggs, milk, and Rotel.
• Pour half of cornmeal mixture into a 13 x 9 pan sprayed with Pam.
• Sprinkle browned ground beef on top of cornmeal mixture, and top with thinly sliced Velveeta, if desired. (Adding Velveeta will make a really cheesy casserole.).
• Top with remaining cornmeal mixture.
• Sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheese on top.
• Bake at 350 for one hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Pour in water and mix with a spoon until the dough comes together. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove dough from bowl and knead for about 5 minutes moistening your hands and the board with water as you work. (Kneading in the additional moisture is an important step in making a tender arepa.) The dough should be smooth and not crack around the edges; it should be moist but not sticky. Form into disks about 3-inches around and 1/2-inch thick. (The disks can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap at this point and cooked later.) Add the oil to a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook arepas on each side just until a crust forms. Do not let brown. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the arepas make a hollow sound when tapped. Open a slit in 1 side of the arepa to make a pocket (or slice in half). Arepas can be stuffed with meat, beans and plantains or your favorite filling.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350°F Set large pot of water to boil.
• Slice tops off peppers. Discard stems and seeds. Finely chop the tops.
• Blanch peppers in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Then rinse in cold water and set to drain.
• Place onion and oil in non stick dutch oven. Cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally till onion is tender and browned. Add chopped pepper; stir for about 1 minute more.
• Remove from heat.
• Add tomatoes, corn, olives, raisins, chili powder and sage; stir.
• Stir in corn bread (it will crumble) and 3/4 cup cheese.
• Spoon filling into peppers.
• Top with remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
• Place peppers in baking dish; bake 20 to 30 minutes (I always go the full 30) until heated through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch square baking dish or a cast iron skillet.
• In a small bowl, beat eggs. Mix in corn oil and buttermilk. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheese, creamed corn, onion, and jalapenos.
• In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix well. Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese on top.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until center is set and top is golden brown.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease 8-inch square pan with butter or cooking spray. In medium bowl, stir cornbread ingredients just until blended (batter will be lumpy). Pour into pan. Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Grease 3-quart casserole with butter or cooking spray.
• Coarsely crumble cornbread onto large cookie sheet. Bake 20 minutes or until slightly dry. Remove cornbread from cookie sheet to large bowl; set aside.
• In 12-inch skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell peppers, chiles, sage and oregano. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened. Add vegetable mixture to cornbread crumbs in bowl. Stir in thawed corn, corn chips and cilantro.
• In medium bowl, beat 3 eggs, the sugar, salt and pepper. Stir in cream corn. Add to vegetable-cornbread mixture; stir until blended. Spoon into casserole.
• Cover with foil; bake 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 20 minutes longer or until thoroughly heated and top is golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place the ground beef into a skillet over medium heat, and brown the meat, breaking it apart into crumbles as it cooks, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning, water, chili powder, cooked rice, salt, garlic salt, black pepper, and 1 can of tomato sauce; mix until thoroughly combined. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise, and remove stems, membranes, cores, and seeds. Place a steamer insert into a large saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Place the peppers into the steamer insert, cover the pan, and steam until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place the steamed peppers into the prepared baking dish, and fill lightly with the meat filling. Press 1 cube of Colby-Jack cheese into the center of the filling in each pepper, and spoon the remaining can of tomato sauce over the peppers. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers are tender and the filling is hot, 25 to 30 minutes.
