Definitely will be making this again. Made a few minor changes after reading the other comments and it was a big hit here. Instead of all corn, I used half corn and half black beans (and used the leftover beans and corn from the cans to make a salsa for the next day). Added a tsp of chipotles minced to the cornmeal mixture and beat it in with the cream cheese and also added some cumin and cilantro. At the table we topped it with fire roasted salsa we got at Sprouts and some sour cream. It was delicious.

Ok, first off I used beef chorizo and it crumbled as I sliced it, ended up more of a ground beef product (I have never used/eaten Chorizo before). So at this point I was irritated, and running late, so I just did my own thing, scrapped the eggs, sugar and cornmeal. Heated it all up in the microwave, added a handful of chopped cilantro, and threw it in the crockpot and ran out the door. But it was a HIT! Thanks

This one is a keeper. I have made this twice. My picky family really likes it. The first time, I substituted cornbread mix instead of cornmeal, red onions, italian seasoning instead of oregano, and added a tiny bit of cream. It turned out good. The second time, I made no substitutions but I think I baked it a little too long, and it turned out a little dry. Overall, my family says, "Yummy!"
