Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes, canned
- 1 15-ounce can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 8.5-ounce box cornbread mix
- 0.33 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil, for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or oven-safe skillet with butter or oil.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent.
Stir in the chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes to toast the spices slightly.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and drained corn to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly. Remove from heat.
Pour the beef and vegetable mixture into the prepared pie dish or skillet. Spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
Prepare the cornbread topping according to the package instructions: In a medium bowl, combine the cornbread mix with the milk and egg, stirring until combined. (Avoid overmixing.)
Pour the cornbread batter over the beef and cheese layer, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or spoon.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and cooked through (a toothpick inserted into the cornbread should come out clean).
Allow the Cornbread Hamburger Pie to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
