Notes: I hope you enjoy this as much as my family does!
This would have been good if the cornbread was not added. Unless I goofed, the cornbread got really mushy and ruined both the presentation and the texture. It also did not add any flavor. I will serve the cornbread separately next time as it tasted okay (not stellar though).
