Mexicali Hamburger Casserole
Mexicali Hamburger Casserole is a mouthwatering, ground beef based dish with a cornbread topping. Recipe enough for 6 large servings.
You can make this Mexicali Hamburger Casserole as hot or not as you wish. I added 1 teaspoon of Dried Crushed Chilies and it was HOT!
I am sure from my recipes lately, you can see I am on a Mexican roll here ! This happens a lot when I am cooking and as I mentioned in a previous post, most of the recipes, which I have made the last couple of days, have been found on-line.
The original recipe, here, was a little confusing in the ingredient part, and also, I could not find Yellow Cornmeal, apparently not a big thing in SA!
Transfer the meat mixture to the oven dish (step 3 in recipe card)
Top with the Cheddar Cheese – keep 2 – 3 TB aside (step 4 in the recipe card)
Combine the Flour, Polenta, Sugar, Salt and Baking Powder in a medium mixing bowl – add the Egg, Milk and Oil – stir well and pour over the Cheddar Cheese (step 5 in the recipe card)

Linda, I think I'd like this but wouldn't put in the olives and would make up for the extra bit of salty taste another way. Cheers
