Refrigerated corn bread twists create an appealing lattice top on this zippy main dish. The original recipe contained cooked chicken instead of kidney beans and celery, but my family prefers my meatless version, which is spicier, too. It's such a time-saver that I make it a lot! -Julie Zeager, Kent, Ohio
Ingredients:
3 medium carrots, sliced
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
2 to 3 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
1 tube (11-1/2 ounces) refrigerated corn bread twists
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute the carrots, celery, onion and seasonings in butter until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually add the milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly.
2. Remove from the heat; add beans, corn, tomatoes and chilies. Spoon into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Separate corn bread twists; weave a lattice crust over filling.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until corn bread is golden brown. Yield: 8 servings.
