This was one of those dinners that just happen by accident. I ended up needing a dinner at the last minute when plans fell through and I had to scrounge through the pantry for ingredients. And the end result was a delicious meal that my family begged me to make again the next week. I love it when these happy accidents happen.
Ingredients:
2 boxes (8.5 oz) Jiffy Cornbread mix
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
2 lbs ground beef
2 pkts taco seasoning
1 can black beans
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Directions:
1. In large bowl, combine the corn bread mix, egg, and milk until mixed well.
2. Spread in 13×9 baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
3. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes
4. Meanwhile, cook the ground beef & drain.
5. Add taco seasoning as directed on packet.
6. Combine taco meat, onions, and beans and spread over top of cornbread.
7. Top with shredded cheese.
8. Bake for 20 minutes.
9. Garnish with sour cream and green onions, if desired.
This makes a lot so if you’re a smaller family or aren’t trying to fill up a teenage boy then you can half the recipe. Ty ate half of this all by himself. I think next time I make it I might try to sneak a can of diced tomatoes or maybe a can of Rotel in there with the meat mixture. That would be delicious!
