Jalapeno and Beef Cornbread Pie


1 lb ground beef
1 c yellow cornmeal
1 c milk
2 eggs
1/2 t baking soda
1 T bacon drippin'
1 (8 oz) can cream corn
3/4 t salt
1 large onion, grated
1 lb sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
5 jalapenos, chopped

Preheat oven to 350. Heat a medium skillet and add beef. Cook, stirring continually, until browned and crumbly. Drain.

Grease a 10" ovenproof skillet (read: cast iron) or baking pan. Combine cornmeal, milk, eggs, baking soda, bacon drippings, corn, and salt in a large bowl.

Spoon half the cornbread batter into prepared skillet. Spread beef over batter. Top with onion, cheese, and jalapenos.

Spread remaining cornbread batter over filling, covering completely. Bake until browned on top and cheese is melted. It takes about 50 minutes...or 1 whole episode of Cops, time to go pee, and grab another beer.
