Taco Pot Pie

Here's a recipe I found in mid-December. It's great!

1# lean ground beef or turkey

1/2 T each chili powder, onion or garlic powder, and cumin*

1/4 C water

8 oz red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 C chopped tomato 3/4 C each frozen corn and peas, thawed

1-1/2 C shredded Cheddar cheese

11-1/2 oz refrigerated corn breadstick dough**  

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brown meat in oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat; stir to separate and drain drippings. Add seasonings and water, cooking for 3 minutes over medium-low heat or until most of the water is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Stir in the beans, tomato, corn, and peas. Cook for 3 minutes or until the mixture is hot. Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Unwrap corn breadstick dough into 16 strips. Twist and shape to fit skillet. Arrange attractively over the skillet. Press ends of the dough lightly to secure it. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cornbread is golden brown and meat mixture is bubbly. Serves 6.

*If you don't have these spices, use one packet of taco seasonings.

**Can use plain breadstick dough or make cornbread from amix and form into strips.
