"Cajun" Muffins

My grandma made some "cajun" muffins one day years ago and never wrote down the recipe.  So we have been experimenting trying to discover what she used in them.  We have had some attempts but they were lackluster compared to the original.  The other day we tried another attempt at them, and it didn't turn out half bad.  Not as spicy as I wanted, but yummy none the less.

I decided to pack them for lunch and they were very yummy even cold.

"Cajun" Muffin Recipe
1 pouch of corn bread mix (not sweet)
1/2 cup black and red beans and rice
1/2 cup mexicorn
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
4-6 green onions, chopped

Cook beans and rice.  Follow the directions for cornbread mix and mix in bowl.  Add all other ingredients and mix well.  Put in greased muffin tins (I used mini tins) and follow cooking instructions for cornbread, add time as needed until done.



Bottom of my lunch contained: "Cajun" Muffins, butter (in Glad container), Peanut butter cookie and a chocolate chip cookie, and smoked cheddar cheese (under cookies)


Top portion contained: cantaloupe, strawberries with sugar, and celery with Peanut butter.

I really enjoyed these muffins and feel free to try out the recipe and add/delete anything to it.  If you do let me know what you tried good or bad. :D

Have a wonderful day!!
