Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. Give him ramen noodles, and you don’t have to teach him anything.

I guess you could say this is the Tex-Mex version of kugel - at least, it has a lot of similarly high-cholesterol ingredients.1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup canola oil
1 cup sour cream (you can use low-fat)
1 small can (8 ounces) cream-style corn
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese or Mexican blend of cheeses
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chile peppers, drained
Heat oven to 375°. Grease an 8- or 9-inch skillet; place over medium heat while preparing cornbread batter. Combine cornmeal, salt, and baking soda; blend well. Stir in melted shortening; add sour cream, corn, and eggs, blending well. Spoon half of the batter into the greased hot skillet. Sprinkle batter with the cheese and chile peppers; cover with remaining batter.
