New Mexico Spoon Bread

Categories: Breads | Southwest

Serves: 1 Batch

Ingredients:

1 cn Cream style corn
3/4 c Milk
1/3 c Melted shortening
1 1/2 c Cornmeal
2 Eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 ts Soda
1 ts Baking powder
1 ts Salt
1 ts Sugar (optional)
1 1/2 c Grated cheese
4 oz Green chile, chopped (remove
-the seeds and devein)

Instructions:
Mix all ingredients. Pour the batter into a greased cast iron skillet. Bake
at 400 degrees F in oven for 45 minutes; cool slightly, slice like a pie,
and serve.

For those who don't want or have the time to prepare from scratch, I have
had excelent results by useing 2 packages of cornbread mix (the kind in a
tear open envelope, not the box) prepared as on the package, then stiring
in the cream corn, green chile, and cheese just before pourin it into the
skillet. Use the same oven temp and cooking time as described above ( the
time indicated on the package needs to be increased because of the added
ingredients.
