Corn Bread Substitute
| Wed, 10-11-2006 - 5:32pm |
I'm looking forward to Chili for dinner. Is there any recipe out there for corn bread? I know corn isn't allowed, so what kind of substitute is there?


This is the only thing we have that I could think of that comes close:
Mock Cornbread and Beef Casserole
1 can 15.5 oz. can Great Northern Beans( drained & rinsed)
4 large eggs
1 T Cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder (NOT BAKING SODA!)
2 T Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Tabasco
1/3 C Splenda(1/4C if you don't like sweet cornbread)
Combine all of the above and blend in a blender. Pour 1/2 of the mixture into a greased 11x7 pan and bake in a preheated 400 oven for 20 minutes. Mean while combine meat mixture.
Meat Mixture:
1 lb Cooked Lean Ground Beef (Drained)
1 10 oz. can Rotel tomatoes with green chiles (Drained)
1T Cumin
2T Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Garlic Salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 T diced canned Jalepenos
Mix all ingredients together.
Remove mock cornbread from oven and sprinkle with a 1/3 C low fat cheese. Top with the meat mixture and sprinkle with another 1/3 C cheese. Pour the rest of the bean batter on top of the meat mixture and top with 1/3 cup cheese. Bake casserole for about 45 minutes(until mock cornbread is cooked through and has turned a golden brown. Serve with a dollop of light Sour Cream.
