This recipe is an oldie but goodie from Stephanie.
Preheat oven to 400.
1 lb ground beef (I use ground turkey)
1 pkg taco seasoning
1/2 cup water
1 can corn - drained (I use frozen)
1/2 c green pepper - chopped (I often use the frozen red/yellow/orange bell pepper mix from Trader Joe's, chopped in my Ninja)
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 8.5 oz. pkg corn bread mix (and ingredients to make it)
1 2.8 oz French fried onions (if I don't have these, I just add some dried minced onion)
cheddar cheese
Brown meat, and add everything else - except the cornbread, cheese, and 1/2 of the onions.
Put mixture in casserole dish.
Spoon cornbread mix* on top.
Bake uncovered 20 minutes.
Top with cheese and remaining onions.
Bake until cheese melts.
*I have struggled to get the cornbread to cook through, even after baking for 1 hour. Any tips? Maybe just cook them separately but serve them together? The flavor of this dish is great - it's just better with cooked cornbread :).
