Need A Recipe For Cornbread Pie

[Chrissyb]

I am stuck I am not even sure that is what you call it so I will try to describe it. It is kind of like a taco on the inside with meat and spices, cheese and green chilie than you mix up the cornbread batter and pour over the top and bake. I haven't had this for a long time and so I can't for my recipe. So I need the thing from the cornbread to the baking time. So if anybody knows of one or where I can find one that would be awesome.

I haven't done exactly that because we can't have dairy or eggs. I haven't been able to make a cornbread without them that has been good, but I have bought some that's good and I have made gorditas.

I have made an enchilada casserole that is similar to what you describe. I start with some corn tortillas on the bottom of the casserole dish. I overlap them. Then I put on the meat filling. Last time it was plain browned ground beef. Sometimes I add peppers, onions.

Then another layer of torillas.

Then the sauce. Last time it was jarred salsa. Sometimes it is Rotel tomatoes, or tomato sauce with chili powder added. Sometimes I add a layter of onion and pepper slices. This is where you would put cheese if you're going to use it. You can continue to add as many layers as your casserole will hold. Always end with the sauce and cheese and make sure your top layer is fully covered with sauce so the tortillas don't get crispy.

Black olives are good with this too.

Cover with foil and bake till heated through and if you use cheese, the cheese is melted.
