Description

With this hearty main dish recipe, the bread is baked right in the casserole. The meal covers all four food groups, and its a guaranteed family pleaser. —Darlene Alexander, Nekoosa, Wisconsin

Followed comment below and cooked crust 10 min and then added sauce.. Corneal crust turned out great although overpowered by sauce inside. Took longer than expectedto make and flavor of dish is two thumbs down at this home.

Hubby and I both gave this a B . The crust cooked fine in my Corning Ware oval casserole dish, but it was a bit thick so I discarded some of it the second time. We noticed it is even better the second day!

I would have given this a higher rating except for one factor. The cornmeal crust was still mush on the bottom and sides, except the edges were done at 30 mins. It needs to be pre-baked for about 10 minutes before you put the filling in so the whole crust is crispy. I also made 2 changes. I didn't have baking powder so I used 2 small boxes of Jiffy corn muffin mix. I also took out the sugar because BBQ sauce is so sweet. I don't know if this made the cornmeal crust so mushy, but I can't see what the difference would be from the scratch. We will try this again doing the pre-bake on the crust.

My husband and i liked this. I added 1/4 chopped onion little garlic powder and seasoning salt, in place of reg salt. Baked for 35-40 min. Then added more cheese after baking. Can use reg flour instead of all purpose. Turned out great!

The combination of flavors was really different for us. Neither my husband nor myself liked this dish at all. I followed the directions accurately but the barbecue sauce and tomato paste combination was just not good. The crust recipe was great, we just didn't like the filling.

whole family loved it. did not have Mexican corn, added salsa.

This was delicious! I did have to bake this in a different pan since I dont have an ovenproof skillet. I also used 1/2 lb of beef and added in a can of rinsed and drained black beans. Also used tomato sauce in place of the tomato paste.
