Slow Cooker Recipe

Cornbread for Dinner

Mexican Corn Bread

Don’t be fooled by the name. This cornbread is hearty enough to serve as the main course of a Mexican-themed meal.

Cheese, onions, garlic, chilies, and ground beef are sandwiched between two layers of moist cornbread. The bottom layer is soft and custardy; the top is firm and crispy-brown.

Because this dish is ready in 4 ½ to 6 hours, it works well as a weekend dinner. Put it together before lunch, spend the afternoon running errands or working outside, and sit down in the evening to dinner all ready to go. Serve it with a green vegetable and fruit salad, and—if you worked really hard outside—have fried ice cream for dessert.

    Since it has eggs and meat and cheese I wouldn’t do it over night.
