Gluten Free Cornbread, Quick and Easy!

Today, I was in a cooking mood! I am so ready and excited about supper tonight! I smoked a pork butt, which I will share the recipe for later. To go along side it, I made cream cheese corn and baked beans. Mmmm... delicious! 

I love to use my smoker, but tend to go in spurts. Anytime I smoke meat on it, I almost always make cream cheese corn to go along with it. One of my most favorite side dishes.

Anyway, enough rambling... 

Enjoy!

Gluten Free Cornbread

1 C. cornmeal
½ C. Betty Crocker All-purpose gluten free flour blend
½ C. cornstarch
1 T. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
¼ C. sugar
1 C. milk
⅓ C. oil
2 large eggs

Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a glass baking dish (or similar sized dish of your choice, or a cast iron skillet, if you have one.) Place the baking dish or skillet in the oven as the oven preheats. In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add milk, oil, and eggs; stir until batter is smooth. Carefully pour the batter into the hot pan. Return the pan to oven and bake 20-25 minutes, or until cornbread is golden brown on top and deep golden brown around the edges. Cut and serve hot from the oven!

Beanie Weenie Cornbread Casserole!

Every once in a while I get a craving for Beanie Weenies. I cannot explain it. They are just good... Mmmmmm... So, with this in mind, I decided to make up a Beanie Weenie and Cornbread Casserole. I needed something that could be a complete meal with a salad on the side or something. This casserole is sooo good. Gourmet I tell ya! Pure gourmet! 

Beanie Weenie Cornbread Casserole

2 cans (14 oz.) Chili beans or pork and beans
1 pkg. hotdogs, sliced into rounds
2 Tbsp. dried minced onion
1/4 c. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. yellow mustard
1/4 c. bbq sauce or ketchup
Ground black pepper, to taste
1 box corn bread muffin mix

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In casserole dish, mix up the beans, sliced hotdogs, onion, brown sugar, mustard, bbq sauce/ketchup, and pepper. In a small bowl, mix up corn bread muffin mix as per directions on box. The mix I used called for 1/3 C. of milk, I only used 1/4 c. Spoon cornbread mix over the top of the bean and hotdog mixture. Bake until cornbread is baked through, approximately 20-30 minutes.
