I put it all together just like the recipe said, cooked it for the hour and it was still mushy. I figured it would happen so I add 30 more minutes…. then 30 more minutes and now it’s basically just corn and beef mush. I’m so sad that it didn’t turn out because it smells heavenly and sounds delicious. I will be trying this recipe again but with a lot less water than before and boy I hope it works because I like I said, it sounds amazing.

I used leftover chicken instead of beef, but it’s practically the same, right?

It was a tad watery. But then I think I didn’t prep the masa right. And by day 2, the leftovers were perfect.

Definitely going to become a dinner staple. Going to try it with shrimp!

I have to admit I fiddled with the tomato sauce, etc, substituting equal amounts of garden spaghetti sauce that I had on hand. I added lots of cumin, some wild oregano & marjoram I dried myself. And some excellent mild New Mexico chili powder added to the flavor. When it came out of the oven the corn meal crust was light & puffy, such a nice surprise! We have a family “cobbler” recipe that is sort of upside down like this so I was excited to find another novel recipe. And this recipe is a keeper. Next time I’m going to add some ortega chilies & chopped olives.
My daughter enjoyed leftovers for breakfast with a fried egg on top. YUM! The puffy crust settled a bit when cold but it’s still good with the meaty filling.

I made it without the tomato sauce and Rotel, and it came out really mushy. Is that how it’s supposed to be? I’m not trying to criticize, but the recipe sounded delicious and I just want to make it right.

I even told my boys and husband, that if it turned out bad we would order pizza. Needles to say, we didn’t order pizza. My family loved it. I will diffidently be making this again.
