I've been helping a friend prepare for a garage sale and in the process, I hit cookbook gold! This particular cookbook title was so unusual that I had to read it twice "Being Dead Is No Excuse - The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect Funeral"!
This book gives you all kinds of advice from what not to wear, floral intentions, hymn selections and a ton of good ole southern recipes. I picked this one for you as I have fresh corn, tomatoes and bell peppers in the garden, so I had very little to purchase.
The cookbook introduction to this recipe is "One of our non-cooking friends makes this, but only when someone has passed".
You'll Need:
1 cup chopped yellow onion (I omitted this)
3 minced green onions
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped tomato (seeded and drained)
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese grated
2 eggs beaten
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup sour cream
Preheat your oven to 375*.
Combine corn, onions, green pepper, tomato, salt, cayenne, cornmeal, and cheese. Allow this to rest for 30 minutes.
Combine beaten eggs with evaporated milk, water and sour cream. Be sure that the eggs are well incorporated into the wet mix then add to your vegetable mixture. Bake in a well buttered loaf pan for 1 hour. Let this dish sit for 20 minutes after baking before you serve. Serves 6-8 slices.
