Step-by-Step Instructions for Mexican Cornbread Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the lean ground beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned.
- Drain excess grease, reduce heat to medium, and stir in the cream-style corn, canned corn, and Rotel diced tomatoes. Let simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle in taco seasoning, salt, pepper, and onion powder to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded Mexican cheese until melted.
- Transfer the beef and cheese mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy cornbread mix, milk, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the cornbread batter over the beef mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 17-20 minutes or until the cornbread is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and return to oven for an additional 4-5 minutes.
- Let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.
