Ingredients

  1. My Buttermilk Corn Muffins Batter: https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/1490085-buttermilk-corn-muffins
  2. 1/4 cup chopped roasted or canned green chilies, well drained (I used the fire roasted jalapeños leftover from our party)
  3. 4 cups shredded carnitas or pulled pork. If pork wasn't cooked in a sauce, you can mix it with 1/2 to 3/4 cup salsa of choice
  4. 2 cups refried or stewed beans
  5. 2 cups shredded cheese (I used cheddar because that's what I had in the fridge.)
  6. 1 jalapeño, cut into 1/8" thick slices
  7. 1 (16 ounce) tub of sour cream or Mexican crema agria to serve on the side

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400F.

  2. 2

    While oven is preheating, make Buttermilk Corn Muffins Batter and add in green chilies.

  3. 3

    In a 9"x 13" casserole or baking dish, layer the pork first, then beans, then cheese.

  4. 4

    Spread batter evenly over the layered ingredients and bake on center rack for 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Brush the top of cornbread with buttermilk (or just run a stick of butter over the entire surface area), dot with jalapeño slices, and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the casserole comes out dry and clean indicating that the batter has baked through.

  6. 6

    Serve with sour cream on the side.

  7. 7

    Enjoy! :)
