Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chiles (Rotel)
- 15 ounces canned corn, drained
- 15 ounces canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8.5 ounces Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
- 0.33 cup milk
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are softened.
Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chiles (with their juices), canned corn, and black beans. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, milk, egg, and sour cream. Stir until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
Pour the cornbread batter over the cheese layer in the baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy!
