I've been extra busy since our baby daughter was born a few months ago. That's why this easy-as-pie main dish is filed at the front of my recipe box! My husband really likes its Western flavors of beef, corn and wheat...especially since we raise the last two ingredients here on our family farm!

Tip

Cheddar Tip

Select sharp cheddar when using packaged shredded cheese from recipes that you’d like to have a bolder flavor. If you will be shredding cheese at home from bulk cheddar, you can choose from mild, medium, sharp and extra sharp.

The online recipe is missing part of the sentence that should say "1/2 cup hickory-flavored or regular bbq sauce". Kind of an important phrase to be missing! I cut out the original recipe so have it in print. I have made this many times! I make one and half times the cornbread base and bake it in a 9 X 13 pan. Sometimes I add a can of black beans (drained & rinsed). Use 1 cup of frozen corn instead of canned. This is fantastic!

Hickory sauce would be a commercial barbecue sauce flavor. I use KC Masterpiece Hickory in this recipe and it's great.

this looks good but I have a question. what is hickory-flavored sauce? where would I find it in the grocery store? thanks.

This dish is so much better than the fairly simple ingredients suggest. It is also very simple to make. I recommend it with no reservations.

Cornmeal is found in the baking aisle near the flour.

OK maybe I'm an idiot but I could not find cornmeal at the grocery store. So I just used a box of corn bread muffin mix. It worked. Should I be looking in the baking section or the ethnic foods?

I agree with previous poster. I have a 3 1/2 and 22 mo. who loved eating this.

This dish was positively delicious! I chose to bake mine in a deep casserole dish, and the crust turned out perfect. It was one of my favorites in a long time, and I will definately be making this one again and again. Even my picky 5 year old and 18 month old loved it! Thanks for such a delicious recipe!
