Baked Cheese Mush

an adaption I made from a recipe from Southern Living Inflation cookBook

2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup coarse cornmeal
medium finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella and Montery Jack cheeses,combined
4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled or chopped
1/4 oz of taco seasoning mix
beaten egg with 1 tablespoon cream
cracker crumbs
Spicy or hot tomato relish (optional)
Meat gravy (optional)

Using double boiler or two pots, one of which can fit into the other,
heat water about 1 1/2 inches deep in the bottom half. Put 2 cups and salt
in upper half of double boiler and bring to a boil on direct heat. Stir in
the cornmeal slowly into the salted water. Cook several minutes over the
direct heat, stirring constantly. Add the onion, 1/4 packet of taco
seasoning mix,mix in well and put smaller pot into larger pot with boiling
water. Cover and cook 40 minutes. Set Oven to 350 degs.Add the bacon and
continue cooking another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the
cheese. Pour the hot mush into a loaf pan and cool for several hours or
until well set. Cut into 8 equal slices. Beat together egg and cream. Put
cracker crumbs in a dish. Sprinkle black pepper on slices. Place a grid or
rack onto a baking sheet, large enough to hold the 8 slices off the baking
sheet. Brush slices with egg wash and press into cracker crumbs and lay
carefully onto baking rack. Put into oven and bake for 30 minutes or until
the edges brown a little and turn golden. Serve warm as is or with Hot and
spicy Tomato relish, such as Country Sides Garden Sytle tomato relish or
any kind of meat or mushroom gravy that you like. Lei Gui Bronx,NY
