It seems like you’ve mixed up two different types of recipes: Cowboy Cornbread and Trifle. However, I can help you create a unique and delicious dish by combining elements from both! Here’s a recipe for a Cowboy Cornbread Trifle:
Cowboy Cornbread Trifle
Ingredients:
For the Cornbread:
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
For the Cowboy Layer:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) corn kernels, drained
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Trifle Layers:
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 cup salsa
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cornbread:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow it to cool and then cut into small cubes.
2. Prepare the Cowboy Layer:
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until softened.
- Stir in black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
3. Assemble the Trifle:
- In a trifle dish or a large glass bowl, start layering. Begin with a layer of cornbread cubes, followed by a layer of the cowboy mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
- Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the trifle dish, finishing with a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on top.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
4. Serve:
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your Cowboy Cornbread Trifle!
