Thanks to Aunt Jenny for all the tips last time I posted about this. I made a bakeover last night with the following ingredients: 1 onion, 1/2 an acorn squash, okra, canned corn (drained), canned black beans(drained), chili powder, cumin, thyme, and salt.
Topped it with the following crust:
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
2 t baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
3/4 t salt
2 T sugar
3 T butter
1/2 c milk
So in other words, I took the "basic crust recipe" substituted cornmeal for half of the flour, milk for the water, and added two tablespoons of sugar.
This mixture is definitely wetter than the basic crust recipe, so you can't roll it. Wet your hands, take balls of the dough and flatten them between your hands, and then place them on top of the bakeover so that they cover it. (re-wet your hands every time you take a new ball of dough).
It turned out crispy, crumbly, slightly sweet, but not dry. All in all, it was delicious.

I did my first bakeover last night. I had bought the fresh pasta at the grocery store - the fresh 3 cheese tortellini and I cooked it up. Then I chopped fresh tomatoes and onions and cooked them in some olive oil in the MJF small bakeover skillet and added the tortellini and then added pesto sauce (already made) and it smelled delicious. I then made up the garlic/pesto fry bread as my bakeover and topped the whole thing with that and put it in the oven for 20 minutes and flipped it over when it was done - WOW! It was SO GOOD! I could have probably eaten the whole thing, but I will definitely do it again. I can see that I could have just made up the fry bread to have along side the pasta, but the bakeover was delicious.

| Thanks, FarmGirlsConnect! For the record, I had intended to throw some cheese in, too, but was a bit frazzled and forgot. |

I use 2 lbs. hamburger, 1 pkg. frozen mixed veggies, 1 can roasted mushroom garlic cream soup, 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese, and MJ Buttermilk bisquit bakeover, delicious!!! You can add any chopped fresh veggie to this and it is great! I added my fresh corn and YUM!!!

Now that sounds great too. My problem is that I need a bigger bakeover pan...mine is the small size and only good for two people. We have 6 in our family! So..I need to get a big one. The ones I have tried have been really really good.

Ivmeer, Thanks for the recipe I'm going to try it with Blue Corn Meal and a few green chilly peppers.
Aunt Jenny, Would your largest cast iron skillet work for your family bake overs? Thats what I use when I have MJF mixes in bulk quantity. If it's just the 2 of us I use my smallest cast Iron skillet, I rarely cook with other pans for frying or baking. I read on the other thread that you are a fellow cast Iron fan. smile-Kathy |

Aunt Jenny, I have to confess, I don't do it the way MJ suggests, but it's probably even easier. I use a bigger pan, then dump the mixture in a pie plate and top it with the crust. I don't flip it when it comes out of the oven. So I guess I make more of a bakeover pie.
Kathy, blue cornmeal sounds wonderful. That's something I'll have to try someday. I've eaten blue chips but never used blue meal. |

I will have to try to big old cast iron skillet..and it would be nice to make a big old bakover pie in my dutch oven I bet!!! I did buy the small bakover pan and use it alot for lots of things..but I hadn't thought of the big skillet for a big bakeover. I could flip it (with help..haha) onto a rimmed pan I have that is big..like a big cinnamon roll pan..the kids call it my enchilada pan. Okay..this weeek for sure!!!!
