Southwestern Corn Spoon Bread

Rose's Southwestern Corn Spoon Bread

is a meal in itself.

Chock full of flavors from 

corn, roasted red bell pepper, onion, garlic, cheese and

chipotle chile; a light and airy

spoon bread holds

this savory  mixture together.

I knew I should have bought an onion

when I pulled these out of the cupboard.

Another trip to the store for an onion

and packet of band-aids.

A very sharp knife won and my thumb lost.

The topping is my favorite part.

I would also love this as a plain 

cornbread with cheesy topping.

It's a delightful dish and fun to make.

I always wondered what chipotle chiles

in adobo sauce were used for and now

I know at least one dish.

Looking at all the items

in the Hispanic section of

my grocery store is great fun but I

haven't a clue how they are used.

So this was a new adventure.
