EMU - MEXICAN CORNBREAD CASSEROLE

The magic of emu meat is that it works well in almost any category, whether breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert – and for the general “steak and potatoes” population, emu meat supplies the rich taste of red meat in any diet. Here’s a popular emu recipe, low in fat and high in taste.
Emu meat is available either vacuum packed or fresh.  It may be mail-ordered from individual producers or can be found at retail in specialty food stores, health food stores and retail establishments around the country.
