HERBED HAMBURGER PIE WITH A CORNBREAD CRUST



Herbed Hamburger Pie With a Cornbread Crust image

An easy-to-make supper--the thyme and garlic make it quite flavorful. For crust you just spread corn bread mix over the top. UPDATE: When I first posted this recipe, I listed the amount of flour as 1/4 cup. However, that is only necessary if the hamburger you're using has a very fatty content. Nowadays, I use fairly lean hamburger (90%), which doesn't yield as much juice, so I've cut the amount of flour in half to just 2 Tbsp. I think the 4 Tbsp (1/4 cup) works best with 75% or less lean ground beef. So adjust the amount of flour you use to reflect the fattiness of the beef.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 medium onions, diced
12 ounces seitan
4 medium garlic cloves, minced
4 large celery ribs, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
4 cups crumbled cornbread stuffing mix
2 teaspoons tamari or 2 teaspoons soy sauce, to taste
2 teaspoons umeboshi vinegar (to taste)
1/2 cup vegetable broth, as needed
6 acorn squash

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Line baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Cut each squash lengthwise in half (from tip to stem) then scoop out seeds and strings. Make a small slice on bottom of each half so it sits flat. With pastry brush, coat squash cavities with oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place halves, cut side down, in prepared pan and roast until tender but still firm, about 30 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until translucent. Add seitan and cook 2 minutes. Stir in garlic, celery, bell pepper, mushrooms, sage, rosemary, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. Stir in parsley and remove from heat.
  • In large bowl, combine cooked vegetables, cornbread, tamari, and vinegar and mix well. Stir in enough broth so that stuffing is moist enough to hold together when pressed but not soggy. Adjust seasoning to taste with tamari, vinegar, salt and pepper.
  • Remove squash from oven and reduce heat to 300°F Carefully turn squash; fill each cavity with 1/2 cup stuffing. Return squash to oven and bake until topping begins to brown, about 25 minutes. Serve hot.

Categories     Breads

Time 40m

Yield 1 square or round

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups self-rising cornmeal
3/4 cup self rising flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Grease 9 inch square baking pan (I use med size iron skillet).
  • Preheat in oven.
  • Combine corn meal,flour,sugar,marjoram,thyme and celery seed in a bowl.
  • Combine eggs,milk and butter in a another bowl.
  • Add to flour mixture,stir just untill blended.
  • Pour into hot pan.
  • Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal: Use a medium or coarse-grind cornmeal for a classic Southern-style cornbread. If you prefer a finer texture, use a fine-grind cornmeal.
  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and helps to tenderize the cornbread. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Add some herbs: Fresh herbs like chives, thyme, or rosemary add a delicious flavor to cornbread. Chop them finely and stir them into the batter before baking.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the cornbread to rise and brown properly. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before baking.
  • Let it cool before serving: Cornbread is best served slightly warm. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
