These Southwestern inspired squares are delicious by themselves, of course—but the sauce gives them an extra zing of zesty flavor, and I never make this recipe without it!—Edith Lawler, Clinton, Missouri
Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey or beef
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon salt
1 package (8-1/2 ounces) corn bread/muffin mix
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
tangy tomato sauce:
2 tablespoons cold water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 can (8 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons chopped chili peppers
2 tablespoons chopped green pepper
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in ketchup and salt.
2. Prepare corn muffin mix according to package directions. Spread half of the batter into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Spoon beef mixture over batter; sprinkle with cheese. Spread remaining batter over cheese.
3. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine sauce ingredients. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened. Let bread stand for 5 minutes after removing from oven; cut into squares and spoon sauce over. Yield: 6-8 servings.
