We all looked forward to supper when Mom served this. Not difficult to make, but special all the same.

Ingredients

1/2 lb: bulk pork sausage
1/2 lb: ground beef
1/4 c: onion, chopped (half a medium)
15 oz: creamed corn (one regular can)
15 oz: peas, canned (one regular can or 1 cup frozen)
1/4 lb: american cheese or velveeta, cubed
8 oz: evaporated milk - reserve 1/2 cup for topping
1 Tbsp: worcestershire sauce
: salt and pepper to taste
1 c: baking mix (bisquick or similar brand)
1/2 tsp: salt
1 Tbsp: sugar
1: egg. beaten
1/2 c: reserved evaporated milk

Step-By-Step

1Brown meats and soften onion and set aside while next group of ingredients are assembled.

2In large casserole or 9 by 13 inch baking pan, combine together peas, corn, cheese - which has been cubed or melted, - evaporated milk (don't forget to reserve 1/2 cup)and worcestershire sauce. Add the browned meats and onion and mix together thoroughly. You may want to add some salt and pepper at this point, it depends on how salty and seasoned your sausage and cheese is, and, of course, your own taste.

3Place dish in preheated 400 degree F oven and bake while mixing the batter (about 10 minutes). Remove pan from oven and pour the batter over the dish being sure to cover the sides and corners well. Leave an open area in the center. Not only does that make for a nicer presentation, it allows steam to escape without breaking through your crust.
