A Family recipe that Mamoo often makes that i put my twist to

My grandmother, aka, Mamoo has this recipe she calls mexican cornbread!
she makes it very similar to this only i changed it a bit and somehow its taste resembled an omlet or a brunch type meal! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!

 My mexi-style casserole bake:

to begin:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees [or whatever your corn muffin mix]
Grease your 8X8inch baking dish


what you will need:
1 corn muffin mix box [prefer jiffy]
1 egg
3/4 can of cream style corn
1 large can diced mild green chilies
1/2 large yellow onion coarsely chopped
1/3 cup +2 tablespoons extra of milk
1/2 large red bell pepper coarsely chopped
1 and 1/4 cup of sharp or medium cheddar sprinkled on top (or mexican blend!)

stir until combined well but still slightly lumpy
do not over mix. allow batter to rest for 5 minutes before baking to help it during the baking process.

pour into your greased 8 inch baking dish and make sure its all evenly distributed
then sprinkle with cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy and a toothpick is inserted in the center and comes out clean

the casserole will be very creamy:)

devine
serves well with mexican rice and chips with salsa.

or even as a brunch item with bacon crumbled inside!
