Cornbread & Black-Eyed Pea Casserole

Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, cook the onion and ground beef until the beef is browned and the onions are tender; season to taste.

Remove the mixture, wipe the skillet clean, and coat with non-stick spray.

In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, baking soda, baking powder, oil, buttermilk, and eggs and blend well. Stir in the black-eyed peas, cheese, okra, and beef mixture.

Pour into the skillet and bake 20–30 minutes, until golden brown.
