Veggie Upside Down Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• To prepare meat filling, heat oil in 11- to 12-inch, deep, oven-proof skillet over moderate heat 1 minute. Add onions, garlic, and stir-fry mix and cook, stirring, until onions are limp and golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Add chili powder, oregano, and beef, breaking up clumps. Cover and cook 10 minutes. Blend in flour, add salsa and tomato paste, stirring well to incorporate, then add corn and simmer uncovered 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until meat shows no signs of pink. Season to taste with salt and pepper, mix in cilantro, and set off heat.
• To prepare corn bread topping, combine flour, cornmeal, and all remaining dry ingredients in bowl and make well in center. Combine buttermilk, oil, and egg in 1-quart measure, dump into well in dry ingredients, and mix briskly just until dough holds together. Spread on top of meat filling, leaving 1- to 1 1/2-inch margin all round.
• Bake uncovered until bubbly and brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve at once.

Steps:

• Cook beef and vegetables in an oven proof skillet until beef is browned. Stir in soup and mustard and continue heating for a few minutes.
• Prepare dough: mix flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour milk and oil into the well and stir with a fork till mixture comes together, adding a little additional milk if necessary. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about a minute.
• On a lightly floured surface (wax paper eases transfering dough to the pan), pat dough into a circle large enough to cover mixture in the skillet leaving a narrow space between edge of dough and pan.
• Bake in a 450 F oven for about 15 minutes till biscuit is done and golden brown. To serve, turn out onto a serving plate so that biscuit is on the bottom "upside down" or cut biscuit into wedges and spoon out onto plates. Serves 4.

Steps:

• In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat, combine butter, honey, and sugars. Bring to a boil; let boil for 4 minutes. Add pecans and heavy cream, and boil 3 minutes more. Remove from heat, and set aside. Let stand about 30 minutes to cool. Using a wooden spoon, gently mound pecans and caramel slightly in center of skillet, leaving a gap between pecans and edge of skillet.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.with rack in the top third. On a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out one disk of prepared chilled pastry to approximately a 7/8-inch-thick, 13-inch-diameter circle. Place the pastry over the skillet, carefully tucking the dough down against the edge of the skillet and around the edges of the mound of pecans. Trim the excess dough.
• Place two rimmed baking sheets, one on top of the other, underneath the skillet to catch any drips while the pie bakes and to provide insulation for the caramel. Place skillet in the oven, and bake pie until the dough is just turning golden brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, and continue baking until the pastry is cooked through and the caramel is bubbling up around the edges of the skillet, about 30 minutes more.
• Remove the pie from the oven, and let cool about 20 minutes. Carefully invert the pie onto a parchment-lined tray or baking sheet (the pie is easy to transfer to serving plate once it has been inverted). Be careful inverting pie; the caramel is very hot. If the pie does not release easily from skillet, heat the skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds. Serve warm.
