Servings: 1
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1 pound of ground pork
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 8 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2-3 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 2 hot chili peppers, chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
- 2 cups of tomato sauce
- 1 can of whole corn with its juice
- 3 cups of chicken broth (adjust for desired consistency)
- 1 cup of evaporated milk
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese
Instructions:
-
Saute and Prepare: In a skillet, sauté the ground beef and pork until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add in the finely chopped onions, minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and finely chopped celery. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the mixture is cooked down. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Spice it Up: Incorporate the hot chili peppers, tomato sauce, and the whole corn with its juice into the meat and vegetable mixture. Ensure everything is well-mixed. If the mixture is a tad too thick, adjust the consistency by adding chicken broth until it reaches your desired thickness. Allow it to simmer for approximately 15 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
-
Prepare the Base: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a sheet cake-sized pan with cooking spray. Pour the simmered mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Jiffy Mix Magic: Prepare the Jiffy mix topping only when you are ready for this step. Mix the Jiffy mix with 1 cup of milk, creating a delightful mixture. Spread this mixture evenly on top of the meat and vegetable layer.
-
Cheesy Finale: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the Jiffy mix layer. To add an extra layer of savory goodness, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top.
-
Bake to Perfection: Pop the Louisiana Hot Chili Pie into the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbling with cheesy goodness.
