Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  • If using ground turkey, break up until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes. 

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Batter

    Drain beans.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions.

    Reserve 1 tsp. corn muffin mix. Add remaining corn muffin mix, cheese, and 1/2 cup water to a mixing bowl. Stir until combined and mixture reaches the consistency of pancake batter. If too thick, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time and up to 3 Tbsp., until desired consistency is reached. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Place a large oven-safe non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add ground beef, BBQ seasoning (use less if spice-averse), and garlic salt to hot, dry pan. Break up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Stir in reserved corn muffin mix and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Add the Vegetables and Beans

    Add corn, beans, tomatoes, 1/2 cup water, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Stir occasionally until combined and slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Assemble the Pie

    Top pie with 7-8 dollops of batter.

  5. 5
