ONION SHORTCAKE

 My amazing husband got up this morning, and started black bean soup in the crock-pot, I thought the onion shortcake would compliment it nicely.
 I have made this numerous times, always to rave reviews and requests for the recipe!

ONION SHORTCAKE

1 cup sliced onion
1/4 cup butter
1 package cornbread mix
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup milk
1 can of cream-style corn
3-5 drops of hot pepper sauce
1 cup sour cream
8oz cream cheese
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar, shredded
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dill

Pre-heat oven to 425F.
In a large skillet, over low heat, saute onion in butter. Add sour cream, cream cheese, 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, salt and dill to skillet.
Meanwhile, combine muffin mix, egg, milk, corn and hot pepper sauce, stir until smooth.
Spoon batter into a 9-inch square or round baking pan, and top with onion mixture.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Enjoy!
