MEXICAN CORNBREAD CASSEROLE



Mexican Cornbread Casserole image

I can't remember where I got this recipe but have had it for years. I always make this when I have cooked a big pot of pinto beans and ham. It's a nice change from your standard cornbread. My husband does not like cornbread or anything with cornmeal but always looks forward to me making this when we have beans. I have made it often and always get lots of compliments.

Categories     Breads

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground beef
1 large onion, diced
1 -1 1/2 jalapeno pepper, diced fine
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 can creamed corn
2 -3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Brown together the ground beef, onion and jalapeno pepper; drain well.
  • In a bowl mix together the cornbread ingredients.
  • Lightly spray a 13 x9 in baking dish with Pam.
  • Pour 1/2 of the cornbread mixture into prepared dish.
  • Top with the meat mixture then sprinkle on the cheese to cover.
  • Pour the remaining cornbread mixture on top.
  • Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 45 mins or until the top is lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornbread mix. Not all cornbread mixes are created equal. For the best results, choose a mix that is made with real cornmeal and does not contain added sugar.
  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your casserole the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the cornbread. The cornbread should be cooked through, but it should not be dry. Overcooked cornbread will make the casserole too dense.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese. Cheese is what makes this casserole so delicious. Use a good quality cheddar cheese that melts well.
  • Serve the casserole hot. This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. It can be reheated, but it will not be as good.

Conclusion:

Meaty cornbread casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great dish to take to potlucks and parties. With its combination of cornbread, ground beef, vegetables, and cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
