Recipe Instructions:
-
Begin by cooking the ground beef, onion, salt, and pepper in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir continuously until the beef is browned and crumbles. Once cooked, drain any excess grease from the skillet.
-
In a large bowl, combine the white cornmeal, all-purpose flour, and baking soda. Stir the dry ingredients until well mixed.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and vegetable oil until smooth.
-
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the mixture is just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cornbread dense.
-
Now, fold in the cooked ground beef mixture, black-eyed peas, and shredded cheddar cheese into the batter. Ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly grease an 11×7 inch baking dish with oil or butter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
-
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the cornbread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy the comforting flavors of Black Eyed Pea Cornbread as a satisfying side dish or a standalone snack. Share this delightful recipe with your loved ones and savor the warmth of homemade goodness together.
