Cowboy Cornbread Casserole is a hearty and satisfying dish that combines ground beef, beans, and cornbread for a delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 package (8.5 oz) cornbread mix
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  4. Stir in the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Transfer the beef and bean mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the cornbread mix, milk, and egg. Stir until just combined, then pour the cornbread batter over the cheese layer in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra flavor.
