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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are softened.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Pour the cornbread batter over the cheese layer in the baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

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