Rain!!!! (Cornbread and Beef Skillet Pie)

What a day..  Our STL came back from his 4 day holiday vacation today and was he on FIRE!!!!   It is a transition period at work,  coming out of back to school/college and going into Fall and Halloween set..  which means there is a lot of clearance throughout all the dept's that I get to play in each day,  which means I get to reset many of those endcaps..  Set 5 yesterday,  4 today..  fun times I tell ya.. though I do love to see the new stuff coming out..  my amazing Sr TL Andy does a little of the work too..  he closes a lot.. he's pretty awesome..  just don't tell him I said that..  we don't want his ego getting any bigger than it already is..  :) 
I also hit it big in the butter world today..  while helping push frozen this morning I saw something out of place,  and me being the OCD person that I am and wanting my fingers to thaw out a minute I walked over to Dairy and picked up this lb of unsalted Organic Butter..  never seen the brand before etc..  so I thought I would find it's true home.. it was marked, are you ready for this??  .76 cents..  I bought 7 of them for $4.56 after my discounts..  I am in heaven..  I couldn't even get 1 organic one for much less than what I paid for 7...   that made my whole day!!!!

So for dinner while going through email and looking at some recipes that are supposed to be an hour or under to prepare I came across a recipe that intrigued me and I used it as a base for what I made tonight..  and it is taking longer than an hour..

Cornbread and Beef Skillet Pie

olive oil
red onion, chopped
green, red, yellow and orange bell peppers, chopped (about 1/4 of each)
2 stalks celery, diced
2 carrots, diced
3 potatoes, diced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
Worcestershire sauce
1/2 lb to 1 lb ground beef, turkey or chicken
4 tsp flour
1/2 c beef broth
salt, pepper, seasoned salt, garlic powder, paprika, steak seasoning
Sriracha sauce,  a couple tbsp or to taste
1 to 1 1/2c Cornmeal mix
2 tsp sugar
1 egg
1/2 c or more milk

In a large skillet over medium heat olive oil,  add the onions, peppers, celery, carrots and potatoes,  cook about 10 minutes..  add the mushrooms and the garlic, cook another 2 to 3 minutes, add the worcestershire sauce and stir well.. letting absorb into the vegetables,  add salt and pepper and the sriracha sauce..  add the beef and cook until brown all the way through stirring constantly,  add other seasonings, the flour and stir to coat,  then add the broth..  while that is cooking in a medium bowl mix the cormeal, sugar, egg and milk until it forms a nice cornbread dough..  you can either drop by spoonfuls on top of the beef/vege mixture or spread over the top and place in a 350 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes until the bread is brown on the top..  enjoy with a nice green salad..  

the original recipe had onions, peppers and mushrooms,  also tomato paste and no seasoning besides the salt and pepper..  I like to jazz things up a bit..  hope you enjoy!!!!
