Cornbread

I love to start with some pre made box items like a cornbread mix and make a home cooked meal out of it. We are all very busy and I don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen but still want to prepare and eat great food. I paired this with chilli recipe to follow.


Cornbread

I pour on box of cornbread mix in a bowl.  I will follow the box instructions but to that I will add any or all of the following items: chopped green chilies, jalapenos, peppers of any color, onion, black beans, cheese of any kind and any other Mexican item you want to add.Now you can add about 1/3 of a cup of each item above.You could add some seasoning now and anything you like is fine.I added some Tai Pepper powder.If it seems too wet when you are done adding extra things you can add a little flour.

Mix cornbread  ingredients and put into a nonstick sprayed pan. I used a 9 x 9 for mine.

Bake the cornbread on 350 for about 40 to 60 minutes or until it is not tacky when poked in the center with a toothpick.

This spice cornbread is great when served with Chili.That recipe is to follow.

Enjoy

This is a wonderful beer cheese soup that will warm you up and give you the extra protein you need to do all that spring cleaning. I you don't want to add the beer you can just add a little more chicken broth to equal that amount of beer you would normally add. Either way this soup is wonderful. I paired it with some cornbread. That recipe is in this blog if you want to look that up too.

Beer Cheese Soup

Sauté onion and garlic together for a few minutes then add 1 cup celery and carrots to the pan and cook until soft. Add 1tps hot pepper sauce, ½ tsp cayenne, ½ tsp salt and pepper or more if you like any of these ingredients.

Add 3 cups of chicken broth, and 2 cups of beer, 1/3 cup butter and stir to combine. Add slowly while stirring 1/3 cup flour.

Add 4 cups of milk or half and half. Stir until mixed well. Add 6 cups of shredded cheddar cheese or more if you like it creamy. Then add 1/3 cup of cream cheese and 1/3 cup of sour cream.

Last thing to add to this beer cheese soup is 2 TBS of Worcestershire Sauce, 1 TBS Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp dry mustard.

Simmer the beer cheese soup for 10 minutes and serve. I made cornbread to go with the recipe that is in this blog a couple of days ago.
