Tamale Casserole

Cornbread, chili, and cheese — a killer combo! And really fast to make with items right out of your pantry.

Serve with a salad.

You could make a vegetarian version of this by taking 2 jars of home-canned beans (such as pinto or kidney), mashing and seasoning them, and using that instead as the filling instead of the chili.

  • If using frozen or fresh peppers, chop (while still frozen if using frozen), then if time permits, to wake up their flavour, give them a quick sauté in a fry pan with a bit of oil and ground cumin.

Optional

  • You can sprinkle hot sauce or salsa on the middle layer before applying the top layer;
  • You could season the cornbread mix with chopped fresh or dried herbs, ground cumin, etc etc.

What's New in Home Canning

What's New in Home Canning

Quote of the day

Various studies through the years show consumers are not following science-based recommendations. They are not willing to change from old methods when science updates indicate new ones are needed. A large percentage are adapting recommendations in their own ways… Over half of home canners underprocess.”
