It&#8217;s a nice variation, but the two are pretty different.  The first one is more like a soupy chili with soft polenta topping and this one is more like a spicy turkey-tomato stew with a cornbread topping.  I added a little bit of oregano and assorted seasonings to the cornbread, which turned out to be a good move; it would have been TOTALLY bland without it.  Overall, this was pretty good, just very different than the other one.  I doubled the recipe to make 4 and ended up using some small fruit bowls that are a part of my (ovenproof) everyday dishes.  The recipe calls for 1.5 cup ramekins, but I&#8217;ve NEVER seen ramekins that big.  If you have something like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chefsresource.com\/8pieconsoupb.html\">onion soup crocks<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.williams-sonoma.com\/products\/sku7476708\/index.cfm?pkey=ctbldnwwht\">ovenproof soup bowls<\/a>, etc., that would work nicely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smoky-Spicy Tamale Pies, from Cooking Light&#8217;s &#8220;For Two&#8221; column Hubby and I liked these a lot.
