Tamale Pie

1 cup cornmeal
1 tsp. sugar
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tsp. vegetable oil
Filling:
1/2 lb. ground beef or turkey
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup onion, chopped
8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 cup whole kernal corn, drained
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp. jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 tsp. chili powder
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. garlic, minced
sour cream
salsa
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the cornmeal and sugar. Stir in 1 cup cheese, milk,
egg and oil. Stir just until moistened.
Press the mixture on the bottom and up the sides of a 9" pie
plate that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
In a 10" skillet, cook the ground meat, green peppers, onions,
garlic, and jalapeno pepper over medium heat until the meat
is no longer pink. Drain.
Stir in the tomato sauce, corn, chili powder, cumin, and
cayenne pepper.
Spoon the mixture into the cornmeal crust.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven
and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
Return to the oven and bake until the cheese melts.
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with sour cream and salsa, if desired.
Cornbread Dressing
The Cornbread:
2 cups buttermilk (or regular milk)
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
2 eggs (slightly beaten)
2 cups plus 2 tbsp. yellow cornmeal
Cornbread Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450°F with a 9 x 13 glass dish in it.
Mix together the buttermilk, baking soda, baking power, salt
and eggs. Add the cornmeal. Stir just enough to moisten the
dry ingredients.
Remove the heated pan from the oven and pour the batter into it.
(Pan should sizzle.) Bake until lightly brown and cornbread starts
to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 18 to 20 minutes.
Make the cornbread a day before you intend to make your dressing.
Leave it out, uncovered, overnight.
The Dressing:
3/4 cup minced onion
1 1/2 cups chopped celery (stalks and leaves)
1/2 cup butter or margarine
9 cups corn bread cubes*
2-2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk (or use more chicken broth or a can of cream
of chicken, celery or mushroom soup)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed sage leaves
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon pepper
* Depending on if you are making homemade cornbread, buying the crumbs
from the store or using a mix, the amount of cornbread crumbs will vary.
If you do not have enough cornbread crumbs to make 9 cups, you can add
bread or biscuit crumbs that have been left out overnight to make the
needed quantity of crumbs.
In a large skillet, cook the onions and celery in butter until the
onion is tender. Stir often.
Stir in about 1/3 of the bread cubes. Turn into a deep, large bowl.
Add the remaining ingredients and toss. This mixture should look
soupy but should not float in liquid.
If you are planning to stuff the turkey, do so just before roasting.
If you are planning to bake the dressing seperately, bake at 375
degrees for 45 minutes to one hour, depending on how moist/dry you
like your dressing.
Makes 9 cups of dressing (enough for a 12-pound turkey).

RED BEANS AND RICE
INGREDIENTS

2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. Cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. White pepper
2 cup Chopped green onions
1 cup Chopped parsley
METHOD
It is best to soak the beans overnight in water to cover, but it is
not essential-unsoaked beans simply take longer to cook.
Cut sausage into slices 1/2 inch thick.
Place the beans in a Dutch oven or other large heavy pot
and add water to cover by about 2 inches.
Bring to a boil and add the onions, bell pepper, tasso, ham or
sausage, salt, and peppers.
Reduce the heat to medium and let simmer, stirring occasionally,
until the beans are tender.
Soaked beans will take 1-1/2 hours, unsoaked beans up to 3 hours.
If the mixture begins to dry out, add more water.
When the beans are tender, remove 2-3 cups of them, mash
with a fork, and return to the pot. this makes a thick gravy base
for the beans.
If there still seems to be a lot of liquid in the pot, mash another
couple of batches of beans the same way.
Stir in the green onions and parsley and serve over rice.
