I would suggest instead of the box mix, to just use regular corn

meal. Bob's Red Mill has some really great non-GMO corn meal and

they graciously supplied the Kansas City vegetarian organization

with many many samples of their products. (I like to support

companies who support the veggie-organizations with free product!)

I imagine that they would be happy to supply other organizations

with some sample products.

I love Bob's Red Mill products. However for this casserole I

think the point of using a cornbread muffin/bread mix is

that it already has the baking powder in it with the salt so

maybe if I subbed in plain cornmeal I'd have to add them as

well. I was happy to find a box of mix that didn't contain

lard or non-vegetarian ingredients hidden in that list.

 

I saw in my recent issue of Veg Times that Bob's Red Mill

makes a bag TVP in their ad. Have you tried that?

I can't seem to find bulk TVP in any store around here so

for that I use Yves crumbles or MSF when I need mince.

I am certainly going to look for BRM TVP and give it a try.

They make so many wonderful items.

I've never been a fan of TVP, so I cannot say that I have seen it or

tried it. You might go to their website....

gathering we attend each year.

 

Sweet Onion Corn Bake

 

2 large Vidalia or sweet onions, chopped

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 can cream-style corn (8.5 oz)

1 cup frozen corn, thawed

1 package (8.5 oz) corn bread muffin mix

4 drops hot pepper sauce [or more to taste]

 

In a large skillet, saute the onions in the butter until

tender. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, milk,

dill and salt until blended; stir in one cup of cheese.

Stir into onion mixture, remove from heat and set aside.

corn, egg and hot pepper sauce. Pour into a greased

My Sorrow, when she's here with me,

Thinks these dark days of autumn rain

Are beautiful as days can be;

She loves the bare, the withered tree;

She walks the sodden pasture lane.
