1 Jiffy cornbread mix
15 oz. can cream-style corn
2/3 cup sour cream
1 Tbs granulated sugar
1 egg
10 oz. can red enchilada sauce
1 lb. lean ground beef (or any ground meat, such as ground turkey, bison, or venison)

  • Bake the casserole for 10 minutes. Remove the cover and top with cheese; bake an additional 5-10 minutes.Serve at once, with your favorite toppings, such as diced tomatoes, green chilies, salsa, sour cream, etc.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 heaping cup crumbled cornbread
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 bone-in pork chops (1 inch thick; about 10 ounces each)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 pounds green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the parsley, scallions, jalapeno, cornbread, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Cut a deep 2-inch-wide pocket into the side of each pork chop. Stuff the cornbread mixture into the pockets.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet in batches and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet; reserve the skillet. Bake until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil; add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Drain; return to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper; toss.
  • Remove the pork from the baking sheet and pour the juices on the baking sheet into the skillet. Sprinkle the flour over the juices; cook over medium heat, whisking, 1 minute. Whisk in the broth, scraping up any browned bits, until smooth and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and drizzle over the pork chops. Serve with the green beans.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cornbread cubes. If you don't have any on hand, you can use a store-bought cornbread mix or follow the recipe in the article to make your own.
  • Be sure to cook the vegetables until they are soft and slightly browned. This will help to bring out their flavor and make the stuffing more flavorful.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings and spices. Chili powder, cumin, and paprika are all classic Tex-Mex spices, but you can also add your own favorites. You can also add some chopped jalapeños or diced tomatoes for an extra kick of heat.
  • Be careful not to overcook the stuffing. It should be cooked through, but it shouldn't be dry. If you're not sure if it's done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the stuffing is done.

Conclusion:

Tex-Mex cornbread stuffing is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's flavorful, moist, and sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Try it next time you have a potluck or holiday dinner.
