I added Worcester but its not in the supplies cause it's not necessary. I started getting link sausage again because I realized, I can take it outta the case if I want, but not put it back in lol

Prepare you meat. I chopped mine up because it was still partially frozen. Ground turkey would be awesome in this to make it healthier.

Add to a large, deep pan or pot, on med-high to high and brown deeply. (I did not brown deeply this time cause I was impatient lol but the final result is better with a deeper browning)

Defrost spinach and break up. Do not drain or ring out water. If you use fresh spinach you'll need to add more liquid later.

Open the Lima beans and pick out any bad ones. No need to defrost these.

I pour the liquids back in the cans they came from for later. I may not need then all every time.

Add all veggies to the meat. I used southwest style corn which had red peppers and black beans in it. If you don't like Lima beans you could sub two cans of this corn or a different bean.

Mix up thoroughly and add sloppy joe sauce. Mixing first will evenly distribute veggies.  If you don't like sloppy joe sauce you can use 2 cans of tomato soup instead.

If you'd like it thicker, make a slurry of cornstarch and the liquid from the chili-kinda and/or water. Don't make it too thick to stir and DO NOT add corn starch directly in. It'll clump.

Looks weird I know but it'll thicken, I didn't add a lot cause I didn't want it much thicker. You won't taste the cornstarch at all.

Preheat the oven to 400f for a flatter corn bread or 350f for a loaf.

Add everything together and stir. I use a basil paste that's amazing! Or for a simpler corn bread just use the 2boxes of mix, the can of creamed corn and the 2 eggs. The result is dense, moist bread!

If you only have regular corn, add that and about 1/4c sour cream adding milk as needed for thinning it out. Or use heavy cream in place of the milk.

Lubricate your chosen baking vessel in your favorite way. Today I'm buttering glass baking dishes. I'm only using two because I was testing which was better. Result: the square was better.

If you choose to do a loaf pan, set the heat to 350f and bake until almost thoroughly cooked then turn up to 400 to brown the outside.

Fill and insert. It should be a thick batter. Bake until firm and toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Omg it was soooooo good! Note: I never added any salt to this, I usually don't add salt except to my pasta water or after its through cooking. Most things never need it.
