Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.

02

Step
10 mins

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the mustard greens, onion, and roasted garlic until the onions are translucent and the mustard greens are wilted and reduced, about 10 minutes. Drain greens mixture in a colander if very juicy.

03

Step
0 mins

Mix the corn muffin mix, biscuit mix, eggs, and milk together in a large bowl to make a batter; mix in the Dijon mustard and seasoned tenderizing salt, then gently stir in the cooked greens, ham, and Mexican cheese blend until thoroughly combined. Scrape the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.

04

Step
50 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of the casserole comes out clean, about 50 minutes. If casserole begins to brown too quickly, cover dish with foil partway through the cooking time. Turn off oven, and allow casserole to stand 15 minutes in the hot oven before serving.

For a vegetarian version, omit the ham and add 1 cup of cooked black beans or pinto beans.
If you prefer a milder flavor, you can blanch the mustard greens in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before cooking them in the skillet.
Feel free to substitute other types of cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack, for the Mexican cheese blend.
The seasoned meat tenderizer can be substituted with a blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.

    I found that using a sweeter cornbread mix balanced the bitterness of the greens perfectly.

  • Estrella Swift

    The mustard greens can be a bit overpowering, so I might use a little less next time.

  • Harmony Ferry

    Adding the black beans was a great suggestion! It gave the casserole a little extra heartiness.

    I was a little hesitant to try this, but I'm so glad I did! It's now a regular on our dinner rotation.
