Grandpa's Loaded Cornbread Casserole

I snagged this from Lorie over at Be Different.. act Normal This came from her Grandfather-in-law. He sounds like fun.


"He is Mr. Fix-it, Mr. Build-it AND Mr. Cook it. And he is 85."


What you need:

1&1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 15-ounce cans creamed corn
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup canned french-fried onions

What you do:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9- by 13-inch pan. In a big bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the milk, butter and eggs. Mix well. Add the corn and mix well. Pour into the prepared pan. Spread the cheese and bacon evenly over the top. With a fork, push the cheese and bacon into the batter, just submerging it. Sprinkle the onions over the top. Bake for about 1 hour until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature. The consistency will be more like that of a casserole than cornbread. (It was pretty cornbread consistency.

Hash brown Casserole

Hash brown Casserole - Jenn at I hate Whine

1 ( 32oz )pkg Hash Browns (cubed)

1/2 cup melted margarine or butter

1/2 cup sauteed onions ( use the margarine or butter )

1 can Cream of Chicken soup

2 cups (16 oz) sour cream

2 cups cheddar cheese ( grated)

salt and pepper to taste

Topping :

2 cups crushed cornflakes

1/4 cup margarine or butter

Mix all together and place in your baking dish . Mix corn flakes and melted butter together and sprinkle over the top.

Bake at 350 for 45 mins or until you see the top is golden brown and crispy.

Like always I never follow this , I just throw in a couple big blobs of sour cream and throw in whatever I feel like for the cheese. I also find that we like it better made with the shredded hash browns that say savory seasoned on the bag. I never put salt in and always shake pepper in and mix it all through. the other thing i do is add a little pepper to the crumb mixture as well as a little garlic powder. Just do whatever sounds good to you, or what you know your husband or kids will eat.
