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)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Step 2

Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened and translucent.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Lightly grease the inside of a crock pot with non-stick spray. Spread the beef mixture evenly across the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 5

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.

Step 6

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).

Step 7

Spread the cornbread batter evenly over the cheese layer in the crock pot.

Step 8

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).

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the lid and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy!
