Posole & Cornbread

You don't always need to have posole with cornbread, but they do go really well together. Of course the best way to have posole is on top of your Christmas tamales.

Posole

32 oz frozen posole or large can of hominy
2 onions
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 pounds pork steak or pork roast, cubed
6 medium red chile pods (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp cumin seed, crushed
12 oz chopped mild green chile
#2 can whole tomatoes, chopped with juice
1 1/2 T sugar

Cook all ingredients together, except hominy, until meat is tender and starting to shred. Add hominy long enough to warm. This tastes even better the next day!


Cornbread

3 eggs
2 1/4 sticks margarine
1 1/2 c. milk
3/4 tsp. baking powder
3 c. Bisquick
1 1/4 c. sugar
3 heaping T. cornmeal

Beat eggs and add milk. Melt margarine and add to mixture.
Mix all dry ingredients and add to liquid ingredients, folding
until just mixed. Pour into ungreased 9 X 13 pan. Bake
at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
