I have made similar dishes in the past, but couldn’t find a recipe, so I just used ingredients that I thought would go well together. It was so easy and so good, this will be a recipe I make again and again!
Melissa’s Mexican Pie
Filling:
1 can Vegeburger or 1 bag Morning Star Farms Vegetarian Burger Crumbles or 1 lb. ground beef
2 tsp. Bill’s Best Beaf Seasoning (optional)
1 med. onion, chopped
2 – 3 tbsp. taco seasoning or 1/2 packet of taco seasoning
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp. oil
1 jalapeno, finely chopped
Saute onion until soft. Add vegeburger and brown for a few minutes. Add 1 can Rotel and taco seasoning. Grease iron skillet. Place vegeburger mixture in skillet. Top with shredded cheese.
In a bowl, mix together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, egg, milk, and oil. Mix together until just combined. Add jalapeno pepper, and combine. Pour corn bread batter over vegeburger mixture.
