Ingredient Extravaganza!
Here’s what you’ll need to create this masterpiece:
- 1 cup black-eyed peas, cooked
- 1 medium sweet potato, diced
- 1 cup corn, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 prepared cornbread mix
- 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Ready, Set, Cook!
Now, let’s get this culinary party started! Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), because we want everything to be piping hot!
- In a large skillet, drizzle the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent – about 5 minutes. Your kitchen will smell divine, I promise!
- Add the diced sweet potato to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, just until it starts to soften.
- Stir in the black-eyed peas, corn, vegetable broth, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it all simmer together for about 10 minutes. Go ahead, take a sniff; it’s heavenly!
- In a mixing bowl, combine your cornbread mix with the milk and stir until just combined. No need to overdo it – we like it a little chunky!
- Pour your delicious filling into a greased pie pan or baking dish. Spread it out evenly and then dollop the cornbread batter on top. Get creative with it; swirls are encouraged!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling with joy.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if you’re feeling fancy!
Now, dig in and embrace the cozy flavors! It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience. Who knew food could be this warm and inviting? Enjoy every cheesy, savory bite of your Black Eyed Pea Sweet Potato Cornbread Pot Pie!
