Recipe
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 packet taco seasoning
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (4 oz) green chilies, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 box cornbread mix (like Jiffy)
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes (with juices), and green chilies. Let simmer for 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
While the beef mixture is simmering, prepare the cornbread mix according to the package instructions. In a medium bowl, combine the cornbread mix, egg, milk, sour cream, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread half of the cornbread batter in the bottom of the dish.
Layer the beef mixture over the cornbread, then top with the remaining cornbread batter.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
