Casserole

I'm still trying out recipes from the new slow-cooker book. This week, I made a batch of "Bean and Cornbread Casserole". First, you assemble beans, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and green pepper, with appropriate spices, and cook that on High for an hour; then you put together a cornbread mix (corn meal, flour, eggs, milk, creamed corn) and pour it over the beans, and cook that for another couple of hours. Basically, it's a one-pot version of the chili and cornbread I made for Thanksgiving, and it's delicious.

I'm thinking I might make a batch for the departmental Cinco de Mayo party, at the end of the semester. I can see some logistical problems, but it might be worth a try.
