BEEF AND CORNBREAD SQUARES



Beef and Cornbread Squares image

I love cornbread, and this just fits the bill. Almost a cold weather recipe, but when you makes this, it becomes an any time recipe! I make this all the time for when my usual Monday Night Football Armchair Quarterbacks come over! We seldom get to go to their houses because they want what I cook! They always say, "but you cook so good". I'm sure a lot of you know what I mean! I hope you like it, and let me know how it goes for your own MNFB crowd! Enjoy! This doubles and triples great. Here's a tip: I used to buy the cans of tomatoes and green chilis, such as Rotel), but since they are pricey, I buy the tomatoes and green chilis separately. You will get more for the money and you will have enough to double or triple the recipe. If I have leftover chilis and tomatoes, I freeze them for something else. Top this with my salsa #218314!

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen corn: Fresh corn is best for this recipe, but frozen corn can be used in a pinch. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a hot oven: The oven should be preheated to at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the cornbread. This will help the cornbread rise and get a crispy crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool before cutting: Let the cornbread cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Meaty cornbread squares are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With the right ingredients and a little bit of effort, you can create a delicious cornbread that will be a hit with your family and friends.
