Running Rabbit Hot Tamale Pie







Scraps of left over rabbit meat...enough to equal about 2 cups. (Can be varieties of game meat mixed)
1 medium sized onion chopped
Water to cover all generously
Boil until onion is fully cooked. Drain saving the broth. Put meat and onion through food chopper using fine blade.
(this is one of the old hand crank models, so using an electic one meat needs to be finely shredded but not paste).
Add chili powder to taste. I use enough to color the mixture about the same color of the chili powder. Add enough broth to moisten well - but not soupy.

Make corn meal mush using -

1 C. yellow cornmeal

Grease a glass baking dish...size 8"X10"X1 1/2" with oleo .
Put a layer of mush in the bottom of pan. Put in the meat mixture on top of the mush, finally top with a layer of the mush. Grease the top layer lightly with oleo. Bake at 350 degrees until lightly brown around edges. (Will have a crusty appearence on the top.)

Saute onion in skillet with oil. Add beans and chili powder, cook until liquid is very low.

Soak lettuce wedges in ice water with garlic salt to taste.
