Ingredients:


1 can cream-style corn

3/4 cup milk

1/3 cup melted shortening

1 1/2 cups cornmeal

2 large eggs -- slightly beaten

1/2 teaspoon soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1 1/2 cups grated cheese

4 ounces green chiles -- seeded and deveined
 

Preparation / Directions:


Mix all ingredients. Pour the batter into a greased cast iron skillet. Bake at 400 degrees F in oven for 45 minutes; cool slightly, slice like a pie, and serve. For those who don't want or have the time to prepare from scratch, I have had excelent results by useing 2 packages of cornbread mix (the kind in a tear open envelope, not the box) prepared as on the package, then stiring in the cream corn, green chile, and cheese just before pourin it into the skillet. Use the same oven temp and cooking time as described above ( the time indicated on the package needs to be increased because of the added ingredient
