BBQ Chicken Cornbread Casserole
Description
This casserole begins by cooking ground chicken with vegetables, then simmering with barbecue and tomato sauces to infuse tangy, smoky flavors. The cornbread topping is made by mixing cornmeal with flour, sugar, milk, egg, and melted butter to form a batter that bakes into a golden crust covering the meat layer.
Baked at 400 degrees, the casserole achieves a golden-brown surface and a moist interior where the cornbread complements the savory chicken. Served warm, it can work as a main dish for dinner or a hearty lunch with a side salad.
The dish needs a brief rest after baking to set, making it easier to portion and serve.
