This recipe is a bit odd, as people either love the idea, or hate the idea. But one thing is the same: once people taste it, they all really like it! Mexican Cornbread Casserole Ingredients:
Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and set aside 2. On medium high heat, brown the onions (5 minutes) in 1 tbsp of butter, then add the ground beef & spices, and cook until browned and done. 3. While that is browning, mix together in a large bowl the corn meal, baking soda & salt. Then add the milk, can of creamed corn, eggs, & butter. 4. Pour half of the batter into the greased baking dish 5. Put meat into pan over batter 6. Cover meat with peppers and any other "topping" you want (beans, tomatoes-see note with ingredients) 7. Put the cheese on top of that 8. Pour remaining cornmeal mixture on top of the whole mess! 9. Bake for 45 minutes until it's golden all over, and you can smell it! Let this cool for about 5 minutes before cutting and serving it. We like this with a big ol' salad on the side. Have a great weekend!

Hello! This looked fantastic so I gave it a try tonight. The cornbread came out really oily. Even when mixing the ingredients there seemed to be an abundance of oil (I used canola), to the point where I started sprinkling in some extra corn meal to try to absorb some of it. We really enjoyed it otherwise so I'd like to try again. Other than maybe reducing the oil to 1/3 cup any suggestions on what may have gone wrong? Maybe next time I'll try it with butter like you mentioned above.

The recipe reads to use 1 Tablespoon of butter to brown the onions in, but I see no more mention of butter, just oil mixed with the milk, creamed corn and egg step.

If I don't have creamed corn on hand, can I use frozen?

Well, the creamed corn really gives the cornbread it's moisture, so, I would say maybe make a quick half batch of homemade creamed corn to use in it (there is a recipe for that on this blog). Or, perhaps as a really quick fix, use frozen corn mixed with milk and a bit of parmesan cheese to make up the amount of one can of cream corn.
