I had a loaf of cornmeal mush and about half left after
frying some that needed used. I looked at some grits and polenta recipes and
came up with one to use what I had on hand. I melted a couple pats of butter in
a 10 inch casserole dish; I sliced the mush a good ¼ inch and made a layer. I
beat an egg and added about 1 ½ cups cottage cheese, mixed up and layered over
the mush. I added a layer of some shredded sharp cheddar and some Colby jack.
I put in another layer of mush and sprinkled some Penzey’s
sandwich seasoning; any good garlic based seasoning salt will work. I finished
it with a good layer of shredded triple cheddar. It went uncovered into a
preheated oven at 325 deg. for an hour. If I was choosing the cheese I would go
with shredded gruyere or Swiss on the bottom, mozzarella and parmesan on the
top. For this I used what cheese I had on hand.
I had a beef braciole thawed that had been seasoned with Tee’s
Top Secret seasoning and smoked on my Traeger. It went into a casserole dish
with some left over Italian gravy and in the oven with the mush.
When that was done I toasted some garlic bread under the
broiler, sliced the beef and served. The wife and I both liked it. The beef was
tender and all tasted good with some of the Italian gravy over. The daughter in
law stopped in before picking up the grandson at a friend’s house and ate some
of the mush casserole with the Italian gravy and said it was good.
