PEANUT CORNSTICKS

 This is an old recipe from Indianapolis, Indiana. 

1 tbsp butter

2 tbsp finely chopped onion

2 tbsp chopped green (bell) pepper

1 tbsp finely chopped pimento

1/2 cup chopped peanuts

1 pkg (12-oz) corn muffin mix, prepared as directed

Melt butter in a skillet over low heat. Sauté onion, green pepper and pimento for about 5 minutes or until softened and browned; set aside. Prepare corn muffin mix and add the sauteed mixture and peanuts, stirring to mix well.

Pour batter into well-greased corn stick pans, filling each stick about 2/3 full. If you do not have a corn stick pan, use an 8- or 9-inch pan.

Bake at 42degrees 15 minutes or until browned. The square pan may take about 5-10 minutes longer to bake.
