jedishampooI was discussing vegetarian recipes with whymzycal and mentioned a cornbread and beans shepherd's pie, which is one of my favorite quick/easy recipes and totally comfort food. Here's a recipe if anyone wants it! I found it online and adapted it slightly.
Two Bean Corn Meal Pie
1 chopped yellow onion (about 3/4 to 1 C)
1 T olive oil
2 t chili powder
1 minced garlic clove (or more!)
1 t cumin
1/4 t pepper
1 can diced or chopped tomatoes (15oz can)
1 C frozen corn
2 cans beans, rinsed and drained (pinto, black, kidney, even two different kinds if you like)
(optional) chopped peppers, any kind
Saute onion (and peppers if using) in oil about five minutes on med. Add spices and can of tomatoes with juice and cook on med heat till simmering. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add beans and corn and heat through. Pour entire mixture into casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray (recipe called for 11 X 7 dish but I used a smaller one)
Topping
3/4 C whole wheat flour
3/4 C cornmeal
2 t sugar
2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1 egg
3/4 C milk
1 T canola oil
Mix together topping ingredients and spoon onto bean mixture already in casserole dish. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes or until topping is golden and cooked through.
I top it with yogurt or sour cream and salsa, and sometimes shredded cheddar. (If you use yogurt, something other than nonfat tastes best, unfortunately. I found this amazing Middle-Eastern yogurt at the Asian market. OMGOMG.) I also usually double the spices, but that's just me 'cause I like deep flavor. YUM! Everyone I've tried this recipe on likes it.
(Vegetarian Times had a similar recipe but it called for the topping to be made with 6 T of boxed cornbread mix. Why would you ruin an entire box of cornbread mix for 6T? Silly timesaver, because the recipe for the topping is easy enough!)
