MEXICAN CORNBREAD CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Dump the ground beef into a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
• Crumble the ground beef well as it cooks.
• Once the ground beef is fully cooked, drain the grease from the pan and reduce the heat to medium.
• Without draining any of the cans, add the cream style corn, canned corn and Rotel to the pan.
• Stir all of the ingredients together well.
• Add the taco seasoning, salt, pepper and onion powder to the pan.
• Stir well and leave to simmer and thicken for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and add 2 cups of the shredded cheese to the pan.
• Stir until the cheese is melted.
• Dump the mixture into a greased 9 x 1 3 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
• Pour the cornbread mix into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the eggs and milk to the bowl with the cornbread mix.
• Stir until no large chunks remain.
• Pour the cornbread batter over the ground beef mixture in the baking dish.
• Place the dish in the oven and bake the casserole until the cornbread is starting to brown on top. 17-20 minutes.
• Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining cup of shredded cheese on top of the cornbread.
• Return the dish to the oven and continue baking until the cheese on top is completely melted. 4-5 minutes.
• Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to sit for a few minutes before scooping and serving.
• Enjoy!
