• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 0.666 cup water
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Prepare the cornbread base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornbread mix, milk, and egg. Stir until just combined.

Step 3

Pour the cornbread batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 4

Bake the cornbread base for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Step 5

While the cornbread is baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

Step 6

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Once the cornbread has cooled slightly, spread the seasoned ground beef evenly over the top.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.

Step 9

Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Spread the sour cream evenly over the melted cheese layer.

Step 12

Top the pizza with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and any other desired toppings.

Step 13

Drizzle salsa over the top or serve it on the side for dipping.
