1stp garlic powder
1 tin black beans

Method

    1. Step 1

      To prepare your cob, start by slicing the lid off carefully. Once removed, pull out the filling of the cob so that there is plenty of room inside to add all of the meat and bean mixture. Set aside

      Heat 1tbs oil in a pan and add diced onion. Stir until translucent and then add the ground beef

    4. Step 4

      Once the beef has browned add the garlic powder, smoked paprika and the tin of drained and rinsed beans. Stir gently for 5-10 minutes or until all the meat is cooked through and the beans are warm

    5. Step 5

      Spoon the mince mixture into the cob and add grated cheese while the mince is still hot. Add the salsa and toppings to taste!

    6. Step 6

      Optional: Lightly brush the discarded cob filling with butter and toast under grill until crisp!

How do you eat cob loaf?

While cob loaves are delicious on their own or with butter, they often have their filling removed and can be stuffed with either dips, soups, or even stews for a meal that can be eaten from inside to out. They’re great with corn chips, but you can also make croutons from the bread you’ve removed.
