I always add about a quarter cup of oil for a full pan of cornbread. Keeps it moist. Nothing fancy needed. Vegetable or canola is fine.

This is still one of the best recipes posted here, and one of my absolute favorites.

Once it gets good and cold, I'm going to make it again.

I made this on Tuesday using supermarket rotisserie chicken.   I added the beans and chopped onions like someone said.   I used a jalapeno cornbread mix instead of the muffin mix, adding about 1/4 cup canola oil.    I also added a packet of Sazon GOYA and some smoked paprika to the chicken mix.

...it was excellent.   More importantly it was even better the next day after sitting in the fridge overnight.  Reheated, of course..

Next time I think I will let it cook in the oven for 10-15 minutes before adding the cheese, just to cook the onions a bit more.

Thanks for this one, it's going in the good recipe folder.

Make your own enchilada sauce! Don't go canned. Homemade is easy and it is SO much better.

I attached a link to a recipe for one I like earlier in this thread. It has a bit of cinnamon in it, which I think gives it a much deeper flavor.

I just looked at that peanut soup, and OMG it looks like college night out at the fraternity vomit... Gotta admit, though, that it sounds good, and it certainly looks easy enough.

Mike, if you haven't made the peanut soup, give it a try.  Make sure to use natural peanut butter not Jif, Peter Pan, etc.

Okay, I printed the recipe from your link; thanks!  I've got most of those ingredients already, I think I just lack tomato paste and vegetable broth.  Looks great, and it looks like this might elevate the casserole from pretty good to exceptional, worthy of a new Thanksgiving tradition.   :cool:

I really wanted to make pork shoulder on the rotisserie, like I did last year, but my wife is currently on a "no pork" phase, and she is laid up from an operation.  I don't want her to feel left out!

I made mine with chicken broth. The reason she used vegetable broth is she's vegetarian.

I've made the casserole several times and have made numerous tweeks to the basic recipe; each time has been better than before.

I've consistently used ground turkey, though, because that's what I like. One of these days I want to try it with roast turkey, though.
