I am a recent recipient of the Crosslines food pantry and these ingredients were gifted to us. When I saw what we got, I immediately thought of one of my favorite standby recipes, from Bisquick.
I tweaked it a bit. I added a can of corn and a cup of salsa. Here are the ingredients I used tonight; all were free to me but total cost if you purchase the items is around four dollars.
½ cup biscuit mix
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 can corn
1 cup cheese crumbles
½ cup salsa
1 pound ground beef
(No cost to me- about $4 if bought from store)
Brown the beef in a skillet and heat oven to 400 degrees.
Add the corn and salsa to beef and stir through.
Dump beef mixture into pie plate and sprinkle with cheese.
Make the batter by whisking together the biscuit mix, milk, and eggs.
Pour over the beef mixture.
Bake for 25 minutes.
Mmmmm, comfort food. And it is filling too! Sometimes, when I have hashbrowns on hand, I add that to the beef mixture to make it even heartier.
