Notes
- When buying ingredients, you may find frozen corn with red and green peppers (Mexican style) – if so, omit the additional red pepper or pimento.
- It is best to follow the steps for this recipe in order given. For best results, have the filling finished before starting the biscuit topping. However it is also best that the filling is warm when the biscuits go on top (or they won’t cook properly on the bottom).
- Having everything out, measured and ready before beginning is always a good kitchen practice.
