Beef Blanchette

Tonight's dish is named after the explorer Louis Blanchette, the French Canadian that founded slave's town of Saint Charles in 1769. It is another way of using up the left over roast that you have portioned out and saved.


Here we use left-over beef, a large can of soup and some cornbread mix to make a handy luncheon fare. Make ahead and freeze, then just heat in the microwave.



Ingredients:
½ lbs (approximate) left over beef roast cut up into ½ inch dice
1 18.5oz can of beef vegetable soup
1 small box cornbread mix
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
2 Tbs cornstarch
½ cup beef broth (low sodium)

You will need 4 oven proof 2 cup ramekins (or French Onion Soup crocks)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray each ramekin

Cut up the roast into ½ inch cubes. Heat oil in skillet and let the beef come up to temperature, stirring occasionally.


Pour in the contents of the soup can.


In a small bowl mix the beef broth into the cornstarch until well blended.


Stir this into the beef/soup mixture. Stir until this thickens!

 
mix up the corn bread mix according to package directions. (Add 1 egg and 1/3 cup milk) Mix with fork but do not over work this it will be lumpy. Let set for 5 minutes.

While that sits, spoon the beef mixture into each of the 4 ramekins to start to warm them.
Place ramekins on baking tray



Then top each with equal spoonfuls of the muffin mix.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until tops are golden. 
 

Remove each to a cooling tray for 5 minutes. Then serve each on a dinner plate.

Serve with a side vegetable if desired.
Let the remainder of the cups cool completely before sealing.

If you are feeding only 2, let the others completely cool. Seal and freeze the rest for a later meal. Then just zap them as needed.
