Pioneer Woman at Heart

  I happened to see this recipe in a cookbook from my Mom's old work place, and thought, "hm, I should try this."  Ha ha!  I love this cookbook, but this recipe was the most poorly written recipe I have ever tried.  The photo is putting the dish together sadly written instructions. I didn't read the instructions when I shopped for ingredients, and what do you know?  There were ingredients in the instructions not listed at the top, and the layering of it all was not correct.  I decided to re-write the recipe, and share it.  You could make homemade corn tortillas for this.  We indulge maybe once (or twice) a year for this, as the corn tortillas spike my husband's sugar. Here is the recipe they way I make it now: We top ours with either onions/tomatoes or pico de gallo, shredded lettuce and sour cream. Note:  I thaw tomatoes I froze from the garden, drain and add them vs. canned tomatoes (in case you grow a garden).  I cut the recipe in hal...

  I had all the ingredients to make this (for a potluck that I did not make it to), so I did, and sent most of it to work with my husband.  It is not diabetic friendly.  It is very good however.  I saved some for my own lunch (comfort food).  It is "corn bread" however.  There is a layer of bread then meat/veggies then more corn bread on top.  It's more of a side dish for your next Mexican meal night or potluck. Anyway, you top this with sour cream, or whatever you'd like, and is perfect for a potluck dish for a Mexican food meal. The actual recipe is online, but we adjusted it with organic ingredients.  Recipe is online with "Bake it with Love." Did you know you can make homemade "jiffy" mix ? I also make homemade taco seasoning .  I have been doing this for years now. "Rotel" can be substituted with home canned tomatoes and added organic chilies. You can add more flavor by adding diced jalapeno to the ground beef mix as well.  So good,...
