Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 15-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 8-ounce can Tomato sauce
- 1 15-ounce can Canned corn, drained
- 1 15-ounce can Black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 8.5-ounce package Cornbread mix
- 0.33 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened and translucent.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, canned corn, black beans, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until well combined. Remove from heat.
Lightly grease the inside of a crock pot with non-stick spray. Spread the beef mixture evenly across the bottom of the crock pot.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
In a medium bowl, prepare the cornbread topping by combining the cornbread mix, milk, egg, and melted butter. Stir until just combined (do not overmix).
Spread the cornbread batter evenly over the cheese layer in the crock pot.
Set the crock pot to low heat and cook for 4 hours, or until the cornbread is golden and cooked through (a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean).
Once cooked, remove the lid and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy!
