The other day when visiting Debbi’s blog, she had posted this recipe and I knew I would be trying it soon. I love corn bread and Mexican food also but combining the two ~ heavenly!
So, this was dinner last night and it was delicious! Bill and I both fell for it and I will definitely be making it again. Debbi made it with ground turkey. I am not much of a fan of turkey, except at Thanksgiving time; therefore, I cooked this great recipe up with lean ground beef. Then before serving, I dusted it with chili powder.
This is seriously good as Debbi says and easy too! Give it a try!
On its way into the oven
Here’s Debbi’s recipe:
Taco Corn Bread Casserole
Ingredients:
1 package (8 1/2 oz) corn bread/muffin mix
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
3 cups cooked taco seasoned ground beef, or meat of your choice
1 can black beans
1 cup (8 oz) sour cream, light
1 cup colby jack, cheddar or mexican cheese, shredded and divided
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 can sliced olives (optional, I didn't use)
Method:
In a large bowl, combine the corn bread, egg and milk until blended. Spread into an 8 x 8 pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Combine taco meat and beans, spread over corn bread. Combine sour cream, 3/4 cup cheese and onion. Spread over meat mixture. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes longer or until heated through and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with tomato, lettuce and remaining 1/4 cup of cheese.

another delicious looking meal. Oh... I love this time of year, makes me want to cook EVERYTHING.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
This sounds delicious. Bev makes a similar chili pie and this looks like a nice alternative to it.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I love to come and visit you! I am always finding new recipes that are not always known where I live and this one sounds like another keeper.
ReplyDeleteMy kind of comfort food! Love corn bread.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great, easy recipe and I could substitute chicken!...Happy Wednesday, Pam!
ReplyDeleteWow, and I just happen to have a bag of cornbread muffin mix in my freeze4r! Now I know what to do with it.
ReplyDeleteOh, nice take on a taco!
ReplyDeleteWhat is better than cornbread and tacos?! Sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteDid you double the recipe to fit into a 9x13 pan? I am just wondering if an 8x8 pan would be too small to fit all those toppings on top of the corn bread?
ReplyDeleteGoing to the store to get the stuff now! Looks fabulous!
Hey Pam. I'm totally with you on this one. I LOVE corn bread/muffins with Mexican food. We get New Mexico green chili's every year and I use them in so many things. Last Sunday morning we made corn muffins with NM Green chili and corn in them. They were fabulous with scrambled eggs w/cheese. Yikes that was a bad day for the old diet. I'm going to try this beautiful from Debbi and you. thanks for sharing it. Keri
